&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
The establishment of the British cantonment in 1809 made Bengaluru a crucial military hub in South India. Soon enough, a need arose to establish more transportation links between the new civil and military outpost with the colonial administrative headquarters in Madras. In the 1840s, proposals for these railway lines were debated in the British Parliament, a move supported by traders and shipping companies. In Bengaluru, Sir [[Mark Cubbon (army officer)|Mark Cubbon]] pushed for the development of the railway link during his tenure as the Commissioner of Mysore and Coorg. He proposed a railroad project connecting Mysore and Madras through Bengaluru and Calicut but the plan was stalled. The line was initially meant for military purposes -for transporting soldiers, grains and ammunition but was later made open to the public. [[Lewin Bentham Bowring]] took over as the commissioner of Mysore and the land for the railway project was donated by the Mysore government. The train that chugged from Cantonment was called &amp;#039;Bangalore Mail&amp;#039;. The year 1864 also saw other crucial developments in Bengaluru. The railway link was a turning point in the history of the city as it encouraged immigration from the rest of the country. Trade witnessed a huge boost, and many potters from Madras also settled down in the Cantonment around the same time, leading to the establishment of Pottery Town.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|last=Shekhar|first=Divya|title=Date with History: In 1864, first train chugged from Cantonment to Jolarpettai|work=The Economic Times|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/date-with-history-in-1864-first-train-chugged-from-cantonment-to-jolarpettai/articleshow/59900418.cms|date=3 August 2017|access-date=19 August 2020|archive-date=13 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201113000340/https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/date-with-history-in-1864-first-train-chugged-from-cantonment-to-jolarpettai/articleshow/59900418.cms|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1944, the rail network was nationalised. On 14 April 1951, the three major networks administered by the erstwhile Madras and Southern Maratha Railway, the Southern Indian Railway and Mysore State Railway were joined to form Southern Railway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to historical reasons, the headquarters of the erstwhile Mysore State Railway was located in Mysore though Bengaluru was the hub of operations. To improve administration and enhance monitoring, Bengaluru Division was inaugurated on 27 July 1981.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|last=Phadnis|first=Renuka|date=2 August 2014|title=Bangalore&amp;#039;s rail connectivity turns 150 years|work=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/bangalores-rail-connectivity-turns-150-years/article6273095.ece|access-date=19 August 2020|issn=0971-751X|archive-date=18 October 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211018071527/https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/bangalores-rail-connectivity-turns-150-years/article6273095.ece|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The metre-gauge lines bound to Hubli, Mysore were converted into broad gauge in the 1990s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2015 it was decided to rename the station; three stations in the city were using Bangaluru in their name.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Ray |first=Aparajita |date=5 November 2015 |title=Bengaluru city station to be renamed as Kranthiveera Sangolli Rayanna soon |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/bengaluru-city-station-to-be-renamed-as-kranthiveera-sangolli-rayanna-soon/articleshow/49673788.cms |access-date=14 August 2022 |website=The Times of India |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The station was renamed Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna Bangalore Station in 2016 in honour of the Indian freedom fighter [[Sangolli Rayanna]], who fought against British rule in Karnataka..&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=15 May 2016 |title=Bengaluru Railway station renamed as Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna station |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/bengaluru/2016/may/15/bengaluru-railway-station-renamed-as-krantiveera-sangolli-rayanna-station-904076.html |access-date=14 August 2022 |website=The New Indian Express}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Connections ==&lt;br /&gt;
The railway station is served by [[Krantivira Sangolli Rayanna Railway Station metro station]] on the [[Namma Metro]]&amp;#039;s Purple Line, which opened on 30 April 2016. Later that year, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) decided to construct a foot over bridge from the metro station until the boundary of the railway station, while the South Western Railway, would complete the rest of the work.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Wait for FOB to City Railway Station gets longer |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/Wait-for-FOB-to-City-Railway-Station-gets-longer/article17242807.ece |access-date=2 February 2021 |work=The Hindu |date=7 February 2017 |language=en-IN |archive-date=7 February 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170207180445/http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/Wait-for-FOB-to-City-Railway-Station-gets-longer/article17242807.ece |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Wait for metro-city railway station bridge gets longer |url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/Wait-for-metro-city-railway-station-bridge-gets-longer/article17266232.ece |access-date=2 February 2021 |work=The Hindu |date=9 February 2017 |language=en-IN |archive-date=18 October 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211018071535/https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/Wait-for-metro-city-railway-station-bridge-gets-longer/article17266232.ece |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The foot overbridge connecting platform 10 with the metro station was opened on 18 February 2019. The BMRC reported that monthly ridership at the metro station was 175,000 passengers per day prior to opening the bridge, and increased to 250,000 two months after its opening.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |last1=Kulkarni |first1=Chiranjeevi |title=Bridge linking boosts Bengaluru metro ridership |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/city/top-bengaluru-stories/bridge-linking-boosts-bengaluru-metro-ridership-731744.html |access-date=4 May 2019 |work=Deccan Herald |date=2 May 2019 |language=en |archive-date=4 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190504013453/https://www.deccanherald.com/city/top-bengaluru-stories/bridge-linking-boosts-bengaluru-metro-ridership-731744.html |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The railway station is also served by [[Kempegowda Bus Station]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bengaluru Suburban Railway===&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Bengaluru Suburban Railway]], under construction, will make KSR Bengaluru railway station a major hub in the network.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two corridors of the system will serve the station:&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Sampige line (Corridor 1):&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Originates at KSR Bengaluru and runs northwards via Yeshwanthpur and Yelahanka towards Devanahalli and the Kempegowda International Airport.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Bengaluru suburban rail project: Corridor 1 to link KSR Bengaluru to Airport |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/bengaluru-suburban-rail-project-corridor-1-to-link-ksr-bengaluru-to-airport/articleshow/69932732.cms |work=The Times of India |date=25 June 2019 |access-date=22 August 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Parijaata line (Corridor 3):&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Connects Kengeri in the west to Whitefield in the east, passing through KSR Bengaluru as a central station.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Bengaluru suburban rail: Corridor 3 to connect Kengeri and Whitefield |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/transportation/railways/bengaluru-suburban-rail-corridor-3-to-connect-kengeri-and-whitefield/articleshow/73562265.cms |work=The Economic Times |date=24 January 2020 |access-date=22 August 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This integration will link KSR Bengaluru with long-distance trains, the Namma Metro Purple Line, and the suburban rail system, enhancing its role as a key interchange point in the city’s transport network.&lt;br /&gt;
