| The '''Chennai–Bengaluru high-speed rail corridor''' (or Madras–Bangalore high-speed rail corridor) is a proposed {{convert|340|km|mi|adj=mid|long}} [[high-speed railway line]] that connects two major economic and state capitals in the southern parts of the Republic of India, [[Chennai]] and [[Bengaluru]].<ref>{{Cite news| url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/transportation/railways/high-speed-rail-germany-to-study-chennai-bangalore-mysore-route/articleshow/52525878.cms| title=High-speed rail: Germany to study Chennai-Bangalore-Mysore route| date=2016-05-31| work=The Economic Times| access-date=2017-08-17}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news| url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/High-speed-Bluru-Chennai-rail-may-be-scrapped/articleshow/46034826.cms| title=High-speed B’luru-Chennai rail may be scrapped| work=The Times of India| access-date=2017-08-17| date=January 28, 2015}}</ref>

| == Description ==
| |
| The high-speed railway line would mainly be built alongside the existing railway between the two cities. However, a {{convert|38|km|mi|adj=mid|long}} viaduct between Bangarapet and Vaniyambadi, as well as a {{convert|44|km|mi|adj=mid|long}} viaduct between Katpadi and Arakkonam, would need to be constructed due to hilly terrain.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web| url=http://www.webeotransportation.com/copy-of-miami-metro-rail-transbay-e| title=Bangalore to Chennai Bullet Train| date=April 21, 2017| website=Webeo Transportation| access-date=2017-08-17}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| There would be two new railway stations built underground in Chennai and one at Bengaluru, would witness the high-speed trains, running at around {{convert|320|km/h|abbr=on}}<ref name=":1" />
| |
| | |
| ==Stations==
| |
| Stations are proposed at:
| |
| Chennai Central UG (Interchange with Railways,Suburban Railways and Metro),
| |
| Poonamallee (Interchange with Metro),
| |
| Arakkonam,
| |
| Chittor,
| |
| Bangarapet,
| |
| Bengaluru Majestic UG (Interchange with Railways and Metro),
| |
| Chennapatna,
| |
| Mandya,
| |
| Mysore.
