Bengaluru-Chennai train travel set to become faster

South Western Railway (SWR) conducted a speed trial on the 144-km Bengaluru-Jolarpettai section, reaching a maximum speed of 144 kmph. The goal is to increase the sectional speed to 130 kmph, potentially reducing travel times for trains like Vande Bharat and Shatabdi Expresses, and those with LHB coaches. Currently,...

the Bengaluru-Chennai route's Vande Bharat trains take 4 hours 25 minutes and 4 hours 35 minutes, while Shatabdi trains take 5 hours and 5 hours 10 minutes. Increasing the speed on the Bengaluru-Jolarpettai section (currently limited to 110 kmph due to curves and gradients) to 130 kmph is expected to reduce travel times by approximately 30 minutes for these trains. The Jolarpettai-Chennai Central section already allows speeds up to 130 kmph.

South Western Railway (SWR) ne Bengaluru aur Jolarpettai ke beech 144 km section pe ek speed trial kiya, jismein train 144 kmph ki maximum speed tak pahunchi. Target hai is section ki speed 130 kmph karne ka, jisse Vande Bharat aur Shatabdi Express jaisi trains, aur LHB coaches wali trains...

ka travel time kam ho sakta hai. Abhi Bengaluru-Chennai route pe Vande Bharat trains 4 hours 25 minutes aur 4 hours 35 minutes leti hain, aur Shatabdi trains 5 hours aur 5 hours 10 minutes. Bengaluru-Jolarpettai section ki speed (currently 110 kmph curves aur gradients ki wajah se) 130 kmph karne se in trains ka time lagbag 30 minutes kam ho sakta hai. Jolarpettai-Chennai Central section pe toh pehle se hi 130 kmph ki speed allowed hai.

Not yet finalized.... but will come into reality in the nearest future.... I've a feeling that they might swap the TTs of DD and Brindavan so that DD doesn't face more delays.... and all LHB trains using this section will be speeded up as u rightly said.... let's hope for the best...🤞🤞👍👍

Till date, all infra improvements have not given any single additional night train between SBC and MAS. Not even an additional daily daytime ICE. All improvements have given way to fancy trains only. So, I don't expect big positive impact. May be some more fancy trains will be introduced and normal ICE will be nade to wait.

Hello SWR,

Could you please consider changing the 20608 Mysuru to Chennai timing. It would be most beneficial if the trains starts late from Bangalore. For example, start around 6 PM from Bangalore and reach Chennai by 10PM or later.

Problem is that from MYS too much traffic around 430pm or something like that... so I don't think that might work...👍

Bengaluru-Chennai travel time on Vande Bharat set to reduce to 4 hours

South Western Railway (SWR) conducted a speed trial on December 5th, 2024, on the Bengaluru-Jolarpettai section to increase the speed limit from 110 kmph to 130 kmph. This upgrade, following a similar upgrade on the Chennai-Jolarpettai section last year, will allow the entire Bengaluru-Chennai route to operate at 130 kmph....
more...
This primarily benefits two daily Vande Bharat and two Shatabdi Express trains. Vande Bharat travel time will reduce by 25 minutes (to 4 hours), and Shatabdi travel time will reduce by at least 20 minutes. Further speed increases beyond 130 kmph would require significant infrastructure upgrades.

South Western Railway (SWR) ne 5 December ko Bengaluru-Jolarpettai section pe speed trial kiya tha, 110 kmph se 130 kmph speed limit badhane ke liye. Yeh upgrade, Chennai-Jolarpettai section ke last saal hue upgrade ke baad, poore Bengaluru-Chennai route ko 130 kmph speed se chalane ki ijazat dega....
more...
Isse mainly do daily Vande Bharat aur do Shatabdi Express trains ko fayda hoga. Vande Bharat ka travel time 25 minutes kam hoke 4 ghante ho jayega, aur Shatabdi ka travel time kam se kam 20 minutes kam hoga. 130 kmph se zyada speed badhane ke liye infrastructure mein bada upgrade karna padega.
