There are plans afoot to augment the capacity of Mysuru railway station by laying new lines to enable operation of additional trains to cater to the projected growth in passenger traffic.
However, given the paucity of land as Mysuru railway station is landlocked, authorities are exploring the possibility of expansion towards the railway colony by demolishing the old quarters and service buildings. As per this line of thought, the residential quarters of railway staff will be relocated.
The authorities have floated a Request For Proposal (RFP) for providing architectural and technical consultancy for a feasibility study, master planning, urban designing, engineering and preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR) for integrated re-development of Mysuru Railway Station.
