Mysore/Mysuru: It will be a double dhamaka for thousands of travellers from Mysuru to Chennai via Bengaluru as they can either travel in the Vande Bharat Express Chennai-Bengaluru-Mysuru or the existing Shatabdi Express on the same route.
Shatabdi not cancelled: MP clarifies
Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha told Star of Mysore this morning that both the trains will operate between the three cities and said that the reports of Shatabdi Express being cancelled after the inauguration of Vande Bharat Express are just rumours.
“Both the trains will be there and there is no question of cancellation. Vande Bharat Express is an additional gift for travellers in that section,” he said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Karnataka on Nov. 11 and flag off South India’s first semi-high-speed train Vande Bharat Express between Mysuru and Chennai. The train will cover a total distance of 504-km between Chennai and Mysuru and will take 6 hours and 40 minutes to complete the journey with an average speed of 75.60 km per hour to 77.53 km per hour.
While the Vande Bharat Express Chennai Central to Mysuru Junction will carry Train Number 20608, the Vande Bharat Express Mysuru Junction to Chennai Central will carry Train Number 20607. The Vande Bharat Express will run six days a week — Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Even the Shatabdi Express is presently running six days a week except Wednesday.
The Vande Bharat Express will commence its journey from Chennai Central at 05.50 am. It will cover a distance of 359-km to reach Bengaluru City Junction at 10.25 am. The train will halt for 5 minutes at the junction and will depart at 10.30 am. It will cover another 137.6 km to reach the destination station — Mysuru Junction — at 12.30 pm.
On the return journey, the train will depart from Mysuru Junction at 1.05 pm and will reach Bengaluru City Junction at 2.55 pm. After a halt of 5 minutes, the train will depart from Bengaluru City Junction at 3.00 pm. It will cover a distance of 359-km to reach the destination — Chennai Central — at 7.35 pm. The speed of Vande Bharat Express is likely to improve once the actual services begin.
The Shatabdi Express from Mysuru to Chennai leaves Mysuru at 2.15 pm and reaches Bengaluru at 4.10 pm and Chennai at around 9.30 pm, covering the total distance in about 7 hours.
The Vande Bharat Express will take the Mysuru Junction, Bengaluru City and Chennai Central route and in between, it will cross Malur, Gudupalli, Katpadi Junction, Veppampattu and Perambur. It will have only two halts between Chennai Central and Mysuru and the train will stop at Bengaluru City Junction and at Katpadi. Indigenously built at Integral Coach Factory (ICF), the Vande Bharat Express will have 16 coaches and it is a semi-high-speed train. It is a self-propelled engine train and does not have a separate engine. It has automatic doors and air-conditioned chair car coaches and a revolving chair that can rotate up to 180 degrees.
We can even say a Rail road coordination, when a fast road will also connect Chennai- Brngslore in course of time. Since the traffic on Chennai Bengaluru route is always busy, double damaka is justified. Bengaluru- Mysuru section has demand from businessmen and tourist demand which includes foreign tourists also.

Double dhamaka. After introduction one of the train may have less patronage. Instead if vande bharat starts from Mysore – Chennai – Mysore, it will be useful and may have more Patronage.
Not very encouraging. Departing from Chennai central at 5.50 am. Did the railway authorities ever considered the pain of a traveller. Also the running time. Avg speed 77.5 km / hr. A normal sharabhdi will do. Why VB. Why both shatabdhi and VB is not on Wednesdays. What survey gave this input. For just a new interior we have to shellout more cost. Absolute must management. VB will for sure a flop if time of departing from Chennai is made around 7 am, running time reduced atleast by 1.5 hours. Else why would anyone pay such a fare. Sorry SR. Ur planning is discouraging.
Already two trains between chennai to mysore are running . With same speed of Shatabdi express , new train is of much less use, instead of that , the same may be extended to other routes we hardly have any direct trains from mysore to vijayawada or Hyderabad or Visakhapatnam or Bhubaneswar.
Hey Desikan Aka Rajagoplan
You need not use different names to post the nonsense you have posted. Just a Tamil, who like all otghee Tamils des;erate to settle in Mysore, just like these Villains did in Banglaore, and even after m,any generations, they do not learn Kannada.
Instead of 2 superfast trains to Mysore one after the other, Vande Bharat express could have started from Mysore in the morning & return in the evening to Mysore…
Vande Bharat train concept is great. However, is thee really need to be excited about a train running at an average speed of 77 kmph. Mysuru to Bengaluru should be a 60 to 75 minute trip on a fast train and Bengaluru Chennai 150 to 180 minutes. I hope that this will happen after tracks are upgraded. I look forward to riding the new VB train soon
There is need of high speed train between Bangalore to Hyderabad,Two mega IT cities and it will boost Indian economy into another level if government connect two IT corridor ,Currently, it takes around 10 to 11 hours for passengers to commute between Hyderabad and Bengaluru by train.

Hey Mann Ki Baat!
Did not Musk kick out Parag the CEO of Twitter and other coders like @Sam , hundreds of them? Unlike @Sam from the Infosys Murty’s sweatshop, Parag has a PhD. Infosys Murty says he is proud of son another PhD, unlike the mere coder@Sam ofcourse!
I am a fan of Indian Railways and enjoy all aspects of rail travel. I have just one concern. To the extent I have looked at the reservation charts of the four Shatabdi services between MAS and SBC (available at just four hours before the departure of the train from the originating station, at IRCTC app/desktop), whether there will be sufficient patronage throughout the year because Vande Bharat Express will have a total passenger capacity of 900+. I hope railway authorities are confident about sufficient patronage based on their data analysis. My best wishes for a wonderful service and I am waiting to book my ticket!
