# SWR runs Deepavali special trains linking Bengaluru, coast and Goa 2026-11-05T01:21:09+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets South Western Railway will run one-trip special trains between Bengaluru, Mangaluru and Goa on 6 and 8 November to manage Deepavali passenger rush. Train 06591 departs Yesvantpur at 11.55 pm on Friday, 6 November, and reaches Madgaon at 6.10 pm the next day. The return train 06592 leaves Madgaon at 11 am on Sunday, 8 November, and arrives at Bengaluru Cantonment at 5.20 am on Monday, 9 November. The train stops at Kunigal, Hassan, Sakleshpur, Subrahmanya Road, Mangaluru Junction, Surathkal, Udupi, Kundapura, Bhatkal, Karwar and Canacona among other stations. The 19-coach service includes AC, sleeper and general-class coaches, a luggage van and a compartment reserved for passengers with disabilities. During the return journey the train will not stop at Yesvantpur but will call at Sir M. Visvesvaraya Terminal Bengaluru. ## Indian Opinion Analysis SWR's October announcement of a special train between Bengaluru and Goa via Mangaluru for Deepavali is covered as a routine service notice by The Hindu and Urban Acres. The Hindu leads with the travel dates and halts at Mangaluru Junction, while Urban Acres lists all 21 intermediate stops and specifies rolling stock, coaches and disability-access provisions. Neither outlet frames the decision politically or critically, both treat it as a logistical arrangement. The uniformity of the coverage leaves little to compare, so the takeaway is the level of operational detail each outlet chose to publish. The next date to note is the return journey on Sunday, 8 November, as scheduled by SWR. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - thehindu.com (neutral report) Neutral service announcement, leads with dates and stop. - urbanacres.in (neutral report) Neutral operational detail, lists all stations and coaches.
