India’s first AC railway station: where did they go wrong?

Sir M Visvesvaraya Terminal (SMVT) is India's first centrally air conditioned railway station, designed to look like an airport.

South Western Railways...
more...
(SWR) spent 6 years and over 300 crores to build SMVT, so its disappointing to see how many issues there are with its design. At a first glance, the building looks like an airport, but as you get closer and start using the space you realize that it does a poor job of all the basics.

It’s difficult to reach, uncomfortable to wait at, and its confusing to navigate. Lots of space and material have been used but instead of creating value they feel incomplete and wasteful.

This video is an exploration of the 'Overengineering & underdesigning' trend that seems to dominate the urban construction industry right now. We argue that tools and policies have led to a construction style that builds spaces for vehicles, often at the cost of building for people. Buildings in this style tend to inconvenience people.

Regarding the reach to this stn is now working out fine... cause I recently visited the stn and u have seen the pics shared there.... it's crowded and there r metro feeder buses to and fro SMVT... proper connecting roads r there to this stn.... so I don't find this a huge problem... this is what I've observed....

W.r.t. other points mentioned in the group, IMO they're trying to get the building that fall under the Amrit Bharat Scheme in terms of the modernisation of the stns.... but yes I've seen some...

automatic doors not functioning properly and the stn is not well maintained on terms of cleanliness and aesthetics.... that needs to be hugely improved....👍

Clear example of how not to design.
YPR Hosur line on the outer periphery (Benniganahalli overhead line) could have been connected with a C or U link to SMVT, so that Hosur line gets connected to Yelahanka and KJM line (without loco reversal).
If this was made, trains could have moved from Hosur to Chennai or Salem to Hyderabad via SMVT DMM route.
It...

is not clear how railways will take BSRP line from Heelalige (Hosur line) to Rajanukunte (Yelahanka line).

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
