Vande Bharat Train: Indian Railways is preparing to run a direct Vande Bharat train between Mumbai and Mangaluru to achieve full passenger capacity.
Vande Bharat Train: Indian Railways is planning to start a direct Vande Bharat train service connecting Mumbai and Mangaluru (Karnataka). This train will be run by connecting the existing Mumbai-Goa and Mangaluru-Goa routes. Its purpose is to increase the passenger capacity in the train and provide comfortable service. After the start of the new Vande Bharat train service, passengers will be able to travel from Mumbai to Mangaluru in 12 hours.
Currently two short-distance Vande Bharat trains run on the Mumbai-Mangaluru route. One is Mumbai-Goa Vande Bharat and the other is Mangaluru-Goa Vande Bharat train.
According to media reports, initially 90 percent seats were filled in the Mumbai-Goa Vande Bharat train, but now only 70 percent seats are full. Similarly, on an average 70 percent seats are filled in Mangaluru-Goa Vande Bharat. Railways believes that starting a direct Vande Bharat train service by combining these routes will help in achieving full passenger capacity, as trains running between Mumbai and Mangaluru as well as trains running to Kerala always maintain 100 percent full capacity.
Mumbai-Goa Vande train extended to Mangaluru
As per the new proposed schedule, the Mumbai-Goa Vande Bharat, which currently leaves Mumbai at 5:25 am and reaches Goa at 1:10 pm, will now go to Mangaluru and reach at 6:00 pm. Similarly, the Mangaluru-Goa Vande Bharat service, which leaves Mangaluru at 8:30 am and reaches Goa at 1:10 pm, will now be extended to Mumbai and will reach the final destination at 9:00 pm.
Signs of change in timetable
However, many long-distance trains arrive at Mumbai station around 9:00 pm, so managing the rush of passengers can be a challenge. Central Railway has indicated that the timetable of Mumbai-Mangaluru Vande Bharat may be changed to ensure smooth operations.
