Bengaluru-Mumbai to get second superfast train soon: MP Tejasvi Surya

BENGALURU: The Ministry of Railways has approved a new superfast train between Bengaluru and Mumbai, fulfilling a three-decade-old demand of rail users.

Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya, who revealed this here on Saturday, said the new service to be launched soon would provide a faster and more affordable travel option between the two economic hubs.

Surya said despite Bengaluru and Mumbai being two of India’s most important economic hubs, they have only one express train, Udyan Express, which takes over 24 hours to reach its destination in either direction.
