Hello everyone, I will be sharing some picturesque information about the ongoing developmental works at Ashokapuram (AP) Railway Station in Mysuru.
The main aim of the development of Ashokapuram (AP) is to facilitate the berthing capacity at Mysuru, reduce the burden of saturation at Mysuru (MYS) by extending few possible trains to the station, and eventually make it convenient for train travellers from central and south Mysuru to utilize the developed facility, instead of traveling 8-10 kms to the main station.

The inauguration of the newly developed railway station of Ashokapuram will be on August 15th 2023 (Independence Day). Although, it can be subject to change.
The developmental works at Ashokapuram include :-
1) Yard modelling works for proper alignment of workshop yard as well as the backyard.
2) Construction of new Island Platform PF-4 & 5. The existing PF-1 to PF-3 are rebuilt with extending PF-1 towards Mysuru (MYS) side and Island platforms PF-2 & 3 extended towards Chamarajanagar (CMNR) side.
3)The existing PF-3 and new PF-4 tracks will be connecting both Mysuru (MYS) and Chamarajanagar (CMNR) sides. PF-5 will be connected only to MYS side but a separate dead end on CMNR side.
4) Remodelling of Workshop yard line, by building 2 new sets of shunting tracks next to PF-1 and main line, on the CMNR end.
5) Building another long shunting line next to PF-5 track line, which is dead end towards CMNR side and connected to rest of the platforms on MYS end.
6) Building of new second entry building in the backyard (not connected to the Platform)
7) Extension of the existing Foot over Bridge (FOB) from Island Platform 2&3 to Island platforms 4 & 5 to the second entry building.
Presently, the track remodelling works are over and new platform track lines are ready. The construction works for new 2nd entry building, new platforms 4 & 5, extension works of FOB, building of new Enroute Carriage Watering Systems for PFs 3,4 & 5, and other passenger friendly amenties are still going on. Electrification works are also going on and is disrupted due to remodelling works.
As per the plan, PF-1 & 2 will be utilized for trains running between MYS & CMNR, and PFs 3, 4 & 5 will be used for extended trains from MYS.
I will be sharing my personal renders of the railway station layouts, before and after remodelling. Will also share the pics with some markings.

IMPORTANT !!
I personally request the admin to update the following information about Ashokapuram (AP) railway station.
Old station - 3 PFs -- PF-1 & 2 connected to both MYS & CMNR sides, PF-3 connected only to MYS side.
New station - 5 PFs -- PF-1, 2, 3 & 4 connected to both MYS & CMNR sides, PF-5 connected only to MYS side.
I request the admin to update the number of platforms of AP to be '5 - five' instead of '3 - three'

please wait...Translate to EnglishYo everyone, listen up! I got some dope info on what's happening at Ashokapuram (AP) Railway Station in Mysuru. They're basically tryin' to make it easier for trains to dock at Mysuru and take some pressure off that joint. They're also tryin' to make it more convenient for peeps from central and south Mysuru, instead of havin' to go all the way to the main station which is like 8-10 kms away. It's gonna be ready on August 15th 2023 (Independence Day), but don't hold me to that date, it might change.
The work they're doin' at Ashokapuram includes:
1) Aligning the workshop yard and backyard properly.
2) Buildin' new platforms PF-4 & 5 and extending existing platforms towards Mysuru (MYS) side.
3) Buildin' a new foot overbridge to connect PF-4/5 to the rest of the station and the car park.
4) Upgradin' the station building, renovatin' the toilets and installin' some elevators. So, that's what's up at Ashokapuram!
