Sir M Visvesvaraya rail Terminal likely to open in two months
More than a year after completion of work, the Sir M Visvesvaraya Terminal in Byappanahalli may begin functioning in two months with officials beginning preparations for the inauguration of the Rs 315 crore facility.
In a letter dated March 31, senior officials have approved a tentative list of six pairs of trains which will be shifted to Sir MV Terminal. Though the letter doesn’t mention an inauguration date, the reference to the inaugural special train shows that it might not be too far.
“An inaugural special train (from the terminal) to Vishakhapatnam consisting of 18 LHB Coaches is tentatively planned with open timings. As agreed by the CPTM/E.Co.R, new coaches will be provided by E.Co.Railway for the inaugural run.
