  SECOND TERMINAL OF MYSORE IS READY FOR INAUGURATION..

The project is being implemented at a cost of nearly ₹30 crore. It entails construction of two additional platforms and two pit lines besides facilities for rake inspection and maintenance so that more trains could commence their journey from Ashokpuram railway station.  

This is reckoned to be imperative to decongest the Mysuru railway station, which has 6 platforms but is choked, and hampering the introduction of new services. Several express trains waits at terminal outer in order to get clearance till junctions platform , several trains waits for nearly 20min or more to enter MYSORE JN , in order to maintain smooth traffic in Mysore jurisdiction , Railways to extend several secondary maintainence train which are coming from other point to ASHOKPURAM TERMINAL from MYSORE JN . This promises smooth arrival and departure of trains without delay and congestion , In order to accept more traffic with introduction of new train  services or extension from Banglore region , setup of  ASHOKPURAM TERMINAL was a better move by  railways . 

MP Pratap Simha has urged the Railway Minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnav for taking up doubling between Mysuru Jn and Ashokapuram as well as the realignment of Mysuru-Chamarajanagar railway line near Mysore Airport , Important infrastructure works like addition of two new platforms & stabling lines are being executed. Additional infrastructure would lead to increased train traffic to the station putting strain on the existing single track between Mysuru Junction & Ashokapuram. To cater to the future increase in traffic a proposal to double the track between the two stations has been put forth by the MP.
