Trains from Yesvantpur end will also be received on Platform No.8 Trains arriving from Bengaluru Cant. will now be received at Platform No.5 to 7 and towards Mysuru will depart from Platform No.8 simultaneously. This will give flexibility by allowing simultaneous dealing of trains.

Platform No.8 is having direct connectivity with second entry gate of KSR Bengaluru city railway station.  Simultaneous movements on Platform No.8 facilitate dealing trains both from Mysuru or Yesvantpur  on Platform No.8  maintaining their  punctuality especially during peak hours and thereby helping passengers to board/de-board trains from respective coaches on Platform No. 8 without changing platform since more trains will now be dealt at Platform No 8.
