I'm not sure if the train would be the best option, but here goes.

A local train starts from Madgaon (Margao) at 07:15 every morning, it gets to Thivim at 08:07.

There are busses from Benaulim to Madgaon, though I dont know about transport from Thivim to Anjuna, it's about 10 kms so a taxi/rickshaw shouldn't cost too much, Mapusa is about half way between the train station and Anjuna, so maybe a but from the train station, then another from Mapusa, there should be plenty of busses.

The train in the other direction calls at Thivim at 17:54 and gets to Madgaon at about 19:15.

This map should help.

Take the bus from Benaulim village to Margao(15-20min ride) bus stand. Transfer to any bus heading to Panaji(1 hour ride) or take the Margao-Mapusa express bus(only available during the daytime Monday to Friday). From Mapusa to Vagator/Anjuna is a 20min ride. As you can see it is a real hassle to go from Benaulim to Anjuna by bus. Best option is to hire a scooter/motorcycle and you can be independent and have a really really good time.

Easiest I would suggest would be Benaulim short bus to Margao then the bus to Mapusa (could take 2hrs+) then Mapusa to Anjuna (half an hour)

If it's for the IM meet-up / Party, then to connect to your other post about accomadation, then leave Benaulim with all your gear & take whats on offer up in anjuna,,,,,,,,,,,
