Hey Guys!! The metro service which was expected to be operation between Magadi Road and Mysuru Road stations is expected to be delayed due to the electoral code of conduct.
Yeah man... The authority was planning to open the services on the 6.4 km stretch covering Magadi Road, Hosahalli, Vijayanagar, Attiguppe, Deepanjalinagar and Mysuru Road stations by the end of this month. Now may be it will be opened by August. Go knows why they are dragging the date so much
Track-laying work at Cubbon Park Metro Station has started and is expected to be completed by September, said Pradeep Singh Kharola, Managing Director, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (BMRCL).
Work on providing power along the route, which has 400 metres of tunnel, is expected to be completed in October. This would enable trial runs from Magadi Road to Nayandahalli by December, Mr. Kharola told reporters at Cubbon Park station.
One of the challenges is transporting four coaches from Byappanahalli to the Mysore Road end over the tracks through Cubbon Park station. They will be transported via Majestic. At present, tunnelling work at Chickpet, which is a densely populated area, is going on slowly.
But I heard that the tunelling work at Chikpet is going very slow. Around 6 acres of land has been acquired for the second phase and tenders have been called for construction work. The work will start in 2015
According to sources, the track lying work at Cubbon Park is expected to get completed by this September and the 400 meters tunnel work is expected to get completed by October. So the trail run can be expected somewhere in the month of December.
