Useful Great:ЁЯЩПЁЯП╗ЁЯЩПЁЯП╗ Great
A visit to the Divine Temple in the southern city of Karnataka, Chikballapur.

Was a wonderful experience (rather a sudden trip with my friends) to visit the Isha Foundation's Adiyogi Shiva Temple ЁЯЩП Pax residing in BLR, can avail this DEMU train heading towards Kolar and return by taking the MEMU train towards YPR (Train blog FmT links shared... can check it out...) once you reach Chikballapur, on normal day basis, buses are AVBL towards the temple, but since Election Day was coming up, buses were NOT_AVBL... had to take a cab
...
more...
ride towards the temple and the cost for to&fro temple trip is Rs.800/- (negotiable)... my recommendation is that better NOT go during the summer season as it's open sky and can't stay much longer... friends and I could only spend utmost 45mins since it was scorching hot...ЁЯе╡ЁЯе╡ better to go during the other seasons.... parking charges applicable...

There are few snippets taken at the shrine... please check it out... HAR HAR MAHADEV ЁЯЩПЁЯЩПЁЯЩП

How was punctuality? Was thinking of using the local train for airport commute and does it stop at Baiyappanahalli?

As per information, SER started talks with SCR and SWR to remove Slip coaches inorder to convert the ICF rakes of 18047 Amravati Exp to LHB coaches and convert it to Superfast Exp.
If it happens soon it will be a good move beneficial for passengers.

Hope it happens soon. It's one of the very few remaining ICF trains now on HWH BZA route also since most of the route between GNT to GTL is double line now they can think of reducing the slack and upgrading it to SF category. Also a pantry car and additional AC coaches should be added.
I have also filed RTI with SER yesterday asking for list of LHB conversion planned by them in FY 24-25.

Re# 5801454-9              
With 130kph MPS in HWH BZA section, reduction of the big slack in GNT GTL section, avoiding slip attachment and detachment at GTL, shifting LC from GTL to UBL and removing some halts like DVD (since it goes to VSKP now) atleast 2 hours speed up is possible which would be enough to raise average speed to 55kph for SF conversion.
Also pre covid when LD HPT route was not fully double line and GNT GTL was a single line totally it used to do HWH VSG at 53 kph average and VSG HWH at 54 kph average speed.

Good idea. Also SWR should just stop whining about traffic in Brazanga Ghats and allow running a new dedicated daily train or increase of frequency in VSG Jasidih to daily.
