The footfall at Sir M. Visvesvaraya Terminal at Baiyappanahalli (SMVB) will increase further as the Railways have decided to run more trains from this station.
The South Western Railway started commercial operations of the terminal on June 6 with three pairs of trains and a local MEMU train to Bangarapet. Now, it has been decided to operate six pairs of long-distance trains from the Baiyappanahalli terminal by shifting them from Yeshwanthpur.
The six train services are Hatia - SMVB (18637/18638), SMVB - Bhubaneswar (12845/2846), SMVB - Howrah (22887/22888), SMVB - Hatia (12835/12836), SMVB - Tatanagar (12889/12890) and SMVB - Muzaffarpur (15228/15227). The frequency of all the services are weekly, barring SMVB - Hatia (12835/12836), which is bi-weekly.
