Belagavi: Though it is a double dhamaka for thousands of travellers from Mysuru to Chennai via Bengaluru as they can now either travel in the Vande Bharat Express Chennai-Bengaluru-Mysuru or Shatabdi Express, the timings of both the trains are almost the same, with only a minor difference.
The Vande Bharat Express leaves Chennai at 5.50 am, just 10 minutes ahead of Shatabdi’s 6 am departure. In the return direction, it leaves Mysuru at 1.05 pm, about an hour before Shatabdi. In a way, the two trains are ending up competing with each other.
