BENGALURU: In a bid to cater to air travellers in reaching the airport on time, the South Western Railway on Saturday decided to improve the train services for trains passing through Kempegowda International Airport Railway Station (KIAD).
As per the released notification, the trains’ schedule, passing the Kempegowda International Airport Railway Station (KIAD) have been revised. Apart from airport commuters, these services will benefit the employees working in the airport and people residing in the surrounding areas of the airport.
“The punctual running of these services is accorded the highest priority. Recently, there were instances of little delay in services to KIAD Halt Station due to ongoing safety-related works between Yelahanka and Devanahalli. Within a short period of three weeks, these works are targeted for completion which will improve punctuality to a great extent”, Shyam Singh, Divisional Railway Manager, Bengaluru Division said.
“The proposal for the re-opening of Doddajala Halt Station and stoppage of all airport train services at Doddajala and Bettahalasur is under consideration and will be finalised soon,” he added. (ANI)
