The Railways on Tuesday announced a permanent new bi-weekly train from Bandra-Borivali and Goa making it easier for those travelling on the Konkan Railway and beyond. The train has been in demand from commuters in the western suburbs. 

The new train is likely to be flagged off later this week, likely on August 29, at 1 pm. The train schedule, once the service is inaugurated, is going to be as follows: the train will start from Bandra Terminus at 6.50 am and will reach Madgaon in Goa at 10 pm. Similarly, the return train will depart from Madgaon at 7.40 am and will return to Bandra Terminus at 11.40 pm.
