    This is great news for the Mangaloreans who frequently travel between Mumbai-M'lore. The Matsyagandha express takes 16 hours to reach Mumbai from Mangalore and hope this super fast reduces the hours of journey.

    Its a wonderful move by konkan railway. All the present trains running to LTT Kurla Mumbai are packed to the brim. It was high time we had new trains on this track. And this route is for ever packed with people travelling to mumbai. Kudos to Mr R L Dais for doing a relentless work on konkan Railways
