A small trip by some members and admins of Bangalore on the soon to be antiqued NMGA RAILBUS service.
The to and fro trip had two crews, one LP and one ALP (both DMU crew members) who were very keen to share whatever they knew about the service. So much was their excitement that they took pics of we 'crazy railfans'. :)

Would be discontinued as soon as a passenger service is introduced on the new line. Word going around is that it could happen in about 1-2 weeks.
