Location
Krishnarajapuram railway station (station code: KJM) is located at the junction of the Old Madras Road (NH 4) and Outer Ring Road, Bangalore. The cable stayed bridge of Old Madras road crosses the tracks just near the station.
Structure & Expansion
Krishnarajapuram station has about 4 platforms and 2 thorough tracks for non stopping trains. Most of the long distance trains stop at platform 4, while incoming trains heading to Bangalore City stop at platform 3. Platform 1 is long enough only for eight coaches so it is used for goods and mail trains. And apart from that existing platforms could accommodate only 19 coaches whereas all the trains which stop here have 24 coaches which causes inconvenience to the passengers. So the extension of the platforms were approved by the railways which was completed in fifteen days.
Junction
Krishnarajapuram railway station is a junction on the Bangalore-Chennai main line with a line from Guntakal joining the track into the station. However the Guntakal track is mostly used by freight trains and oil tankers from Whitefield, though a few express trains from Tamil Nadu and Kerala heading towards the north do use this line, bypassing Bangalore in the process. With the commencement of the Yeshvantapur Railway Station all trains moving towards Bangarpet from Yeshvantapur are given a stop here.
Connectivity
This station is well connected to many parts of the city by BMTC buses.
