Bengaluru residents now have the option to travel to Nandi Hills, approximately 60 km from the city, via an extended electric train service.
The South Western Railway (SWR) has expanded MEMU (mainline electric multiple unit) trains that run on the airport route, from Devanahalli to Chickballapur.
With the successful completion of electrification between Yelahanka and Chickballapur, the SWR has made the decision to operate electric trains on this route.
