Bengaluru Metro Phase 2A Trials to Begin in October, Some Stations Delayed
Trial runs for Bengaluru Metro's Phase 2A Blue Line are scheduled to start in October on the 19.75 km stretch between KR Puram and HSR Layout, divided into two segments. However, trains will initially bypass Marathahalli and Silk Board stations due to ongoing construction. The Silk Board station will later connect to the Yellow Line via an elevated walkway. A 413.8-metre section beyond Silk Board is under construction to enable train turnback operations, with completion timelines extending into 2027 for some facilities.
