struggling with train

Sarita · Jan 29th, 2006, 17:09

Can someone help?

We are currently in Pondicherry and would like to go to Goa by train. Can someone advise the best and simplest route? Do we have to go back to Chennai, or can we get any connections from Villampuram, which is about 30 mins from here?

Thanks!

Dear Sarita,
In addition to 7311/7312 Chennai-Vasco (weekly) which goes to Vasco via Yeshwantpur and 7309/7310 Yeshwantpur-Vasco (bi-weekly), you cam also make use of 7313/7314 Chennai-YPR-Hubli (weekly), because from Hubli, you can reach Vasco, even by Road.(**approx.200 Kms.).
----------
7311 departs from Chennai on Fridays. at 14.00 hrs.
7313 departs from Chennai on Sundays.at 14.00 hrs.
7309 departs from Yeshwantpur on Sundays/Tuesdays at 15.15 hrs.
(***For getting into 7309, you have to make use of 2639 Brindavan Express which departs from Chennai at 7.15 hrs. and reaches Bangalore at 13.20 hrs. and make your own arrangements to reach YPR before 7309 departs)

Hi Sarita
As at present there is no direct link from Pondichery to Goa.You can try this.There is a daily train from Chennai to Mangalore via Villipuram which is an hours drive from Pondichery.You board that train go to Mangalore and can take a Konkan railway train to Goa

Hi Sarita,

welcome to india and IM.
