Less than a month after it shut down the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Tejas Express, operated by a third party, over poor response, the Indian Railways will begin its own service on the Mumbai-Goa route from Sunday. The move is being attributed to growing tourist crowds ahead of Christmas.

The superfast and classy Tejas with automatic doors and advanced features will run between Mumbai and Karmali five days a week except Mondays and Thursdays. The bookings for this train will start from December 19.
