@@NatarajanC12119 Twin City = How and Why ?🤔 How can it be Twin city. How much heights of Foolishness. Why not Twin city alignment with any one of the below city : Hosakote just 25 km away. Devanahalli just 40 km away with airport. Doddaballapura just 40 km away Ramnagara just 40km away, Magadi just 45 km away.

8:50 I was wondering that -I thought you were using some laser pointed doppler effect thingy but looks like you went old school! Nice Job! Nice VLOG BTW thank you for the detailed technical info.
excellent work by you. Me, my brother and my father are big fans of Trains and we have travelled so much in SBC to MAS route. Most favorite is Lalbagh express. Top speed in this route is from Ambur to Katpadi zone where it reaches almost 140. I have noticed 137 as top speed. Keep doing more videos. All the best.
Fantastic effort. Keep it up!! Good explanation too. Hope the go ahead is given for 130kmph soon. Eager to see Chennai-Mysuru VBs covering the Chennai-Bengaluru stretch in 4 hours; and the Shatabdhi in 4.5 hours. Very happy to see the first 130 kmph capable stetch in SWR zone. soon Bengaluru to Tumakuru should be 130 kmph capable.
Well done Natarajan. You just took me back to my mathematics class in school. A subject I hate even now but made interesting by your explanation. Thanks for the informative video. Travelling to SBC on 22nd Dec. Your video will keep me awake the whole night with my speedo app on.....
Lovely video and explanation! Always enjoy your namma Bengaluru and vicinity videos - superb videography and informative/simple narration style. Keep it up! While no other rail system in the world has the passenger density/volume, infrastructure, and people behavior challenges, and while IR has made great strides especially since 2014, the issue of littering around tracks has to be urgently addressed - education, enforcement with real consequences, and equipment to handle the waste… It is such a travesty that even the most verdant of spots on the IR system are soiled/spoiled by the massive amounts of trash and other waste that are recklessly discarded. Train station platform cleaning and upkeep seems to have received a massive boost under the Modi government; yet, not much focus on track-side cleanliness! Aside from environmental and health consequences, doesn’t do well for the reputation of the country!
Your narration is full of information, but never boring, your visuals perfectly match the voiceover. The train facts are easily understood by railfans and experts alike. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼 Subscribed
@@NatarajanC12119 Of course. Needs more investment, sleepers, ballasts, safety measures. But it is possible. Long term, 160 is better than 130 if the traffic is high enough to support the economics of it.
Your dedication to such informative posting is tremendous!👏🏼. I need one clarification, as I'm a regular B'luru Chennai traveller by train. The detour via Jolarpettai the last 100 years, that too with a huge south loop is a terrible waste of travel time and the railways know it. They could have acquired lands from around Kolar to Gudiyatham during Kengal Hanumanthaiah days, but sadly he didn't. Now the acquisition cost is exorbitant. Anyway, it can be done even now given the burgeoning demand between the two major southern metropolises.
The huge loop was made because of a freight yard build around 50 years back. Suggestion were sent to railways for shorter route but nothing moved. I guess the future concentration will be on the Bullet train project between Chennai and Mysuru via Bengaluru. Lets hope for the best
A big shout out to you…. Salute… the point on speed calculation not only great youtuber content but…..simply scholastic you command the respect in the work you do 🫡
It’s 2025 and we’re proud of 130 while the world is trialling 500.. Our railways has set the bar so low, anything above 100 is considered game changing 🙄
You can't go from snail pace to 370 quickly. When Japan and other countries were planning for 130 km and 220km trains, our ministers were making people fight how many trains each state got and neglecting upgrades and showing it as profits. So what happened after 2014 is to improve railway station infrastructure, lay new tracks, create new railway stations, upgrade current ones, improve cleanliness, create railway overpass, improve signalling, dedicated freight corridor, introduce 160 km Vande Bharat trains. Introduce higher speed Amrit Bharat trains. Remove curvature as much as possible along tracks, electrification reaching 97 percent etc. Future is High speed trains and certain politicians even detailing it. So we are against a huge fight against entrenched mentality thats blaming everything to fares to environment to scuttle progress. So the process is ongoing and we can see improvements every decade with much faster and better trains.
@ There’s no point of introducing 160kmph trains and charging superfast cess while those trains go at an average speed of 60-70kmph. Last I checked even the track infrastructure falls under the government. So, no excuses for them. It’s like getting a sports car but making it go on potholed roads.
@@srikanth85in Every bit worth for the common man to have better travel experience. The average speed of all passenger trains now improved by 30 percent and stand at 80km/hour in just 5 years. While freight time reduction by 100 percent. An improvement that keeps happening and need to be carried forward into the next decade where the average speed keeps increasing with consistent improvements. This helps run more trains carrying more passengers.
It's all good. But when the Chennai Jolarpettai was upgraded to 130kmph in 2023, SR said there will be a reduction of minimum of 20-25 min for all LHB trains. However, no change in time schedule in their time table. Even after the speed increase, Brindavan, Lalbagh takes same 6 hrs and Shatabdi takes same about 5 hrs.. VB trains are 4.5 hrs. Zero net benefit or reduction in time taken. Trains do slow down a lot in multiple points and Unless SR /SWR reduces them, there cannot be significant reductions in time to cover this route. Probably VB and Shatabdi trains starting early in the morning from Chennai and Bangalore might see a reduction of 15 min or so. 10:32
Yes sir that's true. There is no significant time differences even though the speed limit is increased. The same timings are followed even now between Chennai - jolarpettai. The only thing, i observed is, the time taken from MAS TO KPD has reduced. atleast by 10mins. And while reaching kuppam, Bangarapet the trains usually come with a delay of 20-30mins bcz of uphill gradient. That delay was managed by slack time between BNC-SBC. But now, due to upgrading of speed from 110 to 130kmph, almost every train reaching KPN, BWT at the right time table without delay. That early arrival is helpful to reach Majestic much earlier than previous timings
Hey, you have no idea how long I was following this speed enhancement btw sbc - jtj , even wrote RTI to SWR they said tie still going on. Kudos to you man seriously, please please do update us on what happens whether we have to wait or we got the approval.
As you pointed out the SBC_MYS section has a lot of curves making it difficult for track upgrading but by eliminating the curves the trains can be speeded and thw bridges along the route are stable for increasing the speed. Hope the concerned authorities look into the matter
I saw the speed trail vehicle near KR Puram when I was in Brindavan express today. Hopefully we get a go ahead and see the first 130 kmph within SWR limits
On one side 130 kmph max speed. On the other side, in the same lines, congested between Bangarpet - Bangalore City causing commuter or even Express trains to be held and delayed - waiting for Vande Bharat / Shatabdi / priority to overtake or no platforms or signal. First clear the bottlenecks for through running of trains - alternate tracks, avoid cross-over points, platforms availability, signal upgradation etc and allow commuter / Express trains to run normally at average of 60 kmph without undue delays or suffering to ordinary travelling public.
Hi, it was mentioned in the newspaper that the trial run would be made but the time wasn't given. People were warned not to venture on to the tracks. Thanks for making me go down memory lane but maths and science were not my pet subjects. Lastly it's sad to see the columns of cant station go away. I stay close by and used to walk home from school through the station. FYI I'm 61.
The easiest way to speed up train travel between Chennai and Bangalore is to link Katpadi and Bangarpet with a straight line track. We don’t need fancy trains and all that. At affordable prices to the travellers, with both normal and AC chair car coaches, you can have two types of normal expresses that will cover the new distance in 4 hrs and 5 hrs. Charge super fast extra for the first one. That will decongest MAS-JTJ section for improved services to Salem, Coimbatore and Kerala.
Great insights and commitment, kudos! i. Speed has just become a fancy word with VB, and, coming to Bangalore - Chennai section, it is congested for most part and the entire track and structure was never made for speed as much as for weight, and just for the sake of 360 kms all this running about is not worth the while..! Not to speak of rains and weather which requires frequent maintenance. If yet one intends for speed, the trains should be short, max 8 coaches, and the bigger question is, why/which station does the train stop/not stop! ii. The dire need at this point of time is daily commuting, shorter distances and working with other transport services, so roads and underpasses are a priority. (VB is likely to terminate at Bangalore Cantt. but there is no metro connection..!!) iii. Railway Officials/Contractors are thieves, -- the beautiful structure at Bangalore Cantonment they probably sold the same or used the valuable precious stones for their private houses.
Like many places on Bangalore - Hubli - BGM line, cant they make straight or almost straight train for Bangarpet to Gudiyattam or above...to Katpadi Jn? Maybe Yelagiri hills or something r there??
Thank you Mr Natarajan, very well done. What could be the running time between SBC and MAS once the line is cleared for 130KM. Of course including the regular stops as of now.
Standing on the platform how did you estimate the speed (of 135 kmph)? Slight timing errors in manual methods can result in huge errors in the estimated speed. LATER UPDATE EDIT: Ignore my comment above. I had posted it after just 8 mins or so into your video. I later noticed that you had stated a camera video frame based methodology. That's accurate enough. Thanks, great video!
They finally decided to get these lines ready and the trains up to the mark. They in New Delhi where never happy to consider this route to be important. As they always sent some outdated coaches of an 2 decades old discontinued train 🚂 to run between Chennai n hydrabad or chennai to Bangalore.
Thank you Doubling - Survey going on. New line - Land yet to be acquired for new alignment. Narrow gauge alignment will be used where ever it is possible
Thank you Fastest will be Vande Bharat Express expected to cover Chennai Bengaluru in 4 hours. Other trains are expected to see around 15 mins reduction is schedule

Yes, extra railway men were deployed to warn people roaming near tracks. You can see that in the video as well.
