Bengaluru to Mumbai Superfast train: Indian Railways (IR) has approved the introduction of a second directly connected Superfast train between Bengaluru and Mumbai. This new direct train has been sanctioned nearly 30 years after the introduction of the Udyan Express.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Union Minister Pralhad Joshi thanked Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw for sanctioning the new direct Superfast service linking the two capital cities.
