Mumbai gets new Delhi-Mumbai Rajdhani train via new route

Mumbai, January 19: Railways’ newest addition, the bi-weekly Rajdhani Express running between Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) and Delhi’s Hazrat Nizamuddin was flagged off this afternoon by Union Railway Minister Piyush Goyal.
