South Western Railway to Operate Special Deepavali Trains Between Bengaluru and Goa
South Western Railway (SWR) will run special Deepavali trains between Bengaluru and Goa via Mangaluru to manage increased passenger demand during the festival. The services include one trip each way, departing November 6 and 8, with stops at key stations en route. This follows a request from Dakshina Kannada MP Capt. Brijesh Chowta, who urged SWR to add special trains to accommodate travelers returning home for Deepavali, citing heavy occupancy on regular services.
