  Arriving by Rail The Konkan railway runs the length of the west coast from Mumbai to Trivandrum. It connects Goa to the rest of the Indian railway network and has slashed journey times and opened up parts of the countryside that you would never have previously seen. Mumbai to Goa is now 12 hours and Goa to Delhi is 22 hours by fast express trains. However, these timings can be optimistic and you should plan for delays. Discounted railway passes can be bought in advance which guarantee seat reservations. www.konkanrailway.com
