Low patronage forces railway authorities to cancel AC train service between Mumbai and Madgaon; Western Railway likely to receive it


Bookings for the double-decker express train will be suspended starting mid-February
Two years after the Central Railway first launched the iconic double-decker train between Mumbai and Madgaon, it has decided to suspend the service due to low patronage. The train, which was introduced in December 2015, was the only AC double-decker train with the CR, and plied on the scenic Konkan Railway route. A senior CR official, on condition of anonymity, confirmed that bookings for the train, which ran thrice a week, would be suspended starting mid-February.
