The Madgaon–Mangaluru Central Vande Bharat Express will cease operations starting November 15, as announced by railway authorities.
Railway officials have confirmed that the Vande Bharat Express running between Madgaon in Goa and Mangaluru Central in Karnataka will be discontinued from 15 November. The decision was communicated through a brief notice, indicating that the train will no longer ply the 380‑kilometre corridor.
The service, which was introduced to provide high‑speed connectivity between the two coastal cities, will be withdrawn without a stated replacement schedule. Passengers who have booked tickets for future dates are advised to seek refunds or alternative travel options.
The termination comes as part of a broader review of train operations in the region, though specific reasons for this particular route’s closure have not been disclosed. Regular express and passenger trains are expected to continue serving the Madgaon‑Mangaluru sector.
