Entry to the platforms is restricted via proper ticket check and scanning of baggage with a human scanner. Security upto the mark. All cuisines of south north available to dine in or take away they also serve to your specified train and berth if ordered earlier. Entire station area is clean and hygienic. ?

Largest number of platforms in karnataka and have both underground , escalator for reaching the platform and there is frequently displaying of information both in led screen and loud call out in the speakers if are confused you can freely ask railway police or station master. Coming to the cleanliness it bit okay because not well maintained but people will throw litter even dustbin is provided this the problem. But more can be done to improve in infrastructure wise where underground ways are frequently have the issues of stagent water.

As usual same in every railway stations platforms tracks etc., everything was good but need some cleaning around in the outside of station. And more over help center is not seen in there. Checking also not that much security seems to be somewhat not strict.

Bangalore City Railway Station, officially Krantivira Sangolli Rayanna (Bengaluru Station), also known as Bengaluru City railway station (2014–2016),[1] (station code: SBC[2]) is the main railway station serving the city of Bangalore, Karnataka, India. It is the sixth busiest inter-city railway station in South India after Chennai Central,Moore Market Complex, Chennai Egmore, Tambaram railway station and Chennai Beach. It is the busiest railway station in South Western Railway zone of Indian Railways. The establishment of the British cantonment in 1809 made Bangalore a crucial military hub in South India. Soon enough, a need arose to establish more transportation links between the new civil and military outpost with the colonial administrative headquarters in Madras. In the 1840s, proposals for these railway lines were debated in the railway lines were debated in the British Parliament, a move supported by traders and shipping companies. In Bangalore, it was Sir Mark Cubbon who pushed for the development of the railway link during his tenure as the Commissioner of Mysuru and Kodagu. He proposed a railroad project connecting Mysuru and Madras through Bangalore and Calicut but the plan was stalled. The line was initially meant for military purposes -for transporting soldiers, grains and ammunition but was later made open to the public. Lewin Bentham Bowring took over as the commissioner of Mysuru and the land for the railway project was donated by the Mysuru government. The train that chugged from Cantonment was called `Bangalore Mail', which is the oldest running train in Indian Railways. The year 1864 also saw other crucial developments in Bangalore. The railway link was a turning point in the history of the city as it encouraged immigration from the rest of the country. Trade witnessed a huge boost, many potters from Madras also settled down in the Cantonment around the same time, leading to the establishment of Pottery Town.[3] In 1944, the rail network was nationalised. On 14 April 1951, the three major networks administered by the erstwhile Madras and Southern Maratha Railway, the Southern Indian Railway and Mysore State Railway were joined to form Southern Railway. Due to historical reasons, the headquarters of the erstwhile Mysore State Railway was located in Mysore though Bangalore was the hub of operations. To improve administration and enhance monitoring, Bangalore Division was inaugurated on 27 July 1981.[4] The metre-gauge lines bound to Hubli, Mysore were converted into broad gauge in the 1990s.
