Vande Bharat Express Extended to Bengaluru; New Bengaluru-Mumbai Sleeper Train Planned
The Madgaon-Mangaluru Vande Bharat Express has been extended to Bengaluru, enhancing rail connectivity between coastal Karnataka, Goa, and the state capital. This extension, supported by Union Ministers Ashwini Vaishnaw and HD Kumaraswamy, aims to benefit tourists, business travelers, and students. Separately, a new Vande Bharat sleeper train between Bengaluru and Mumbai is expected to launch soon, offering overnight service with a travel time of around 16 hours and stops at key cities. Both developments mark significant improvements in premium rail services in South India.
