🚂 Festival-Special Trains: Mumbai ↔ Mangaluru Junction
🎟️ Train 01185 / 01186 – Special Fare Festival Specials
- 01185 starts from Mumbai LTT around 22:15 hrs, reaching Mangaluru Junction the next day at ~13:38 after about 18 h 50 m, covering ~877 km with around 25 halts.
- 01186 is the return train from Mangaluru Junction back to Mumbai LTT, with a similar duration (~19 h 40 m), running during peak festival seasons such as Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali, Christmas, or Onam demand periods.
These special specials operate only during festive surges and are not permanent through-year services.
🔄 Regular Year‑Round Trains (Even Without Festive Specials)
If no special runs are available at festival time, depend on these daily or widely scheduled services between Mumbai and Mangaluru:
- 12133/12134 Mumbai CSMT ↔ Mangaluru Junction Superfast Express (Rocket Express)
- Daily service, ~14 h 30 min journey; introduced with LHB coaches in March 2025.
- 12619/12620 Matsyagandha Express (Mumbai LTT ↔ Mangaluru Central)
- Daily around 16 h 10 m across Konkan route; upgraded to LHB rake in February 2025, high-speed (~145 km/h MPS).
Additionally, other specials such as KTM or seasonal runs from LTT exist but are less frequent.

📅 What Happens During Onam 2025?
- No special train numbers (01185/01186) have been officially confirmed yet for Onam (Sep 2025) as of July—though previously such trains are routinely deployed for festival traffic.
- Keep an eye on Central Railway or Konkan Railway bulletins in August–September 2025, when Onam or other festival specials are typically announced.
- If such specials are announced, tickets usually open 2‑3 weeks before operation start; book quickly due to limited runs.
🧭 Travel Tips
- Before booking for Onam season, verify availability of 01185/01186. If not available, rely on daily Superfast and Matsyagandha services.
- Ticket bookings for specials open via IRCTC and PRS counters—availability might be scarce, so early booking is recommended.
- Want help tracking special train announcements later in the year? I can set a reminder or assist with PNR and seat availability checks once schedules are open.
📌 Final Verdict
- 🌟 Special Festival Trains (01185/01186) between Mumbai and Mangaluru are introduced only during festive rush, including likely Onam periods—but no official schedule is out yet for 2025.
- 🚄 Regular services like 12133/12134 and 12619/12620 offer reliable daily connectivity year-round, with upgraded rolling stock and better speed.
