The central government has announced a new express train from Secunderabad to Vasco da Gama (Goa) for travelers in Telugu states. The bi-weekly train will make it easier for passengers to reach the popular tourist destination of Goa.
Currently, there is only one weekly train with 10 coaches from Secunderabad to Guntakal, where it combines with another 10 coaches from Tirupati to head to Goa. Additionally, four coaches traveling from Kachiguda to Yalahanka four days a week are connected to the Shalimar-Goa train at Guntakal.
Union Minister Kishan Reddy thanked Prime Minister Modi and Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav for introducing the new express train service. The increased number of tourists from Hyderabad visiting Goa has made this new service a welcome addition for travelers.
The Secunderabad-Goa Bi-Weekly Express Train will stop at various stations including Shadnagar, Jadcharla, Mahbubnagar, Gadwal, Kurnool City, Doan, Guntakal, Bellary, Hospet, Koppal, Gadag, Hubballi, Dharwad, Londa, Castle Rock, Kulem, Sanvoriam, and Madgaon. This new train service is expected to provide a convenient and efficient mode of transportation for passengers traveling to Goa.
