Welcome to AK VLOGS AND TRAVELS...

The Chennai Central–Bangalore City line (Officially known as Puratchi Thalaivar Dr. M.G. Ramachandran Central Railway Station–Krantivira Sangolli Rayanna Bengaluru Station line) connects the main railway stations in two of the larger cities in India - Chennai in Tamil Nadu and Bengaluru in Karnataka.
The first train service in southern India and the third in India was operated by Madras Railway from Royapuram / Veyasarapady to Wallajah Road (Arcot) in 1856. Madras Railway extended its trunk route to Beypur / Kadalundi (near Calicut) in 1861. Madras Railway connected Bangalore Cantonment to Jolarpettai on the newly constructed Beypur line in 1864. Bangalore Mail started running the same year. Bangalore City was linked to Bangalore Cantonment in 1882. The 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) wide broad gauge Bangarpet-Marikuppam line came up in 1894. The 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) wide narrow gauge line between Bowringpet (later Bangarpet) and Kolar was opened in 1913 by Mysore State Railway. The narrow gauge Yeshvantapur-Devanhalli-Chikballapur line was opened in 1915 and was linked to Bangalore in 1918. With the completion of the gauge conversion to broad gauge of the Chikballapur-Kolar section in November 2013, the entire Bangalore-Kolar section was ready for direct broad gauge trains. Gauge conversion of the Bangarpet-Kolar line was completed in 1997 and a Railbus service was operating since then, till 11 September 2016 when Railbus got replaced by an eight-bogie diesel electric multiple unit (DEMU).
