yes there is a train from goa to ernakulam ..its called okha express... or u can catch the train from goa to mangalore and from mangalore catch the train to shoranur(west coast express)..
from shoranur there are many trains that go to cochin ie ernakulam junction.. |

Thanks for the info. I can't find GOA on the indian trains website. Does that station have a different name? Is there a place I can find out the station names for all the major towns?
Thanks, Ian |

Hi UJM
There are many train options south to cochin (ernakulem) out of Goa, In the north from Sawantadi Road/Pernem, mid Goa Madgaon or south Goa Canacona, The train takes between 15 and 18 hours to cover the distance and it's a nice trip. |

The following timetable may be helpful.
Southbound trains Goa - Karnataka coast - Kerala. Train 2618 looks the best overnight option; it departs Madgaon at 20:20 and gets to Ernakulam junction at 11:00 the next morning. It would cost: - 2A = Rs 1356 3A = Rs 878 SL = Rs 332 Train information.
