Railways General Manager Rakesh Mishra said that the double decker Chennai – Bangalore train should be launched in a month’s time.
‘The Railway Board must issue a notification for commencing the operations of the double decker train. It is likely that operations will start in a month’s time. Except for the double decker train, all the new trains announced in the railway budget 2012-13 have become operational’, said Mr. Mishra.
‘(A) consultant will examine the possibility of developing the station (at Royapuram) into a terminal. There is also a suggestion for a railway terminal at Tondiarpet railway station.’
