The Railway Board has formally approved the launch of a Vande Bharat Express running between Yesvantpur in Bangalore and Madgaon in Goa. This decision follows a series of feasibility studies and is part of Indian Railways’ broader plan to extend semi‑high‑speed services across the country.
The Vande Bharat Express, known for its speed, comfort and modern amenities, will connect key cities in Karnataka and Goa, providing a faster alternative to existing services.

Railway authorities are working on finalizing the schedule and will announce detailed timings and fare structures shortly, ensuring that the new service meets the needs of commuters and travelers alike.
