The launch of the train, promised by Prabhu during an earlier visit, is fulfillment of a long pending demand from Goans to run a Rajdhani Express from the coastal state to the national capital.
The train will travel from Madgaon to Hazrat Nizamuddin and vice versa.
"The regular Bi-weekly Rajdhani Express Train No-22413 will depart Madgaon at 10:05 hrs on every Sunday and Monday and reach H.Nizamuddin at 12:40 hrs on the next day," a release from Konkan Railway said.
"In return direction, Train No-22414 will leave from H. Nizamuddin at 10:55 hrs on every Friday and Saturday and reach Madgaon at 12:55 hrs on the next day
This train will have 16 coaches and will halt at Thivim, Kudal, Ratnagiri, Panvel, Surat, Vadodara & Kota stations," it said.
Now besides this, other Delhi bound trains originating from Goa include the Goa Sampark Kranti Express and the Goa Express.
