Here’s what I found on special trains from Velankanni to Mumbai, particularly during the Velankanni festival:

🚆 Festival-Era Specials (2025)
🗓 Velankanni → Mumbai LTT Special (Train Nos. 01162 / 01164)
- 01162: Departs Velankanni at around 03:00 hrs (e.g. Aug 28, 2025), arrives at Mumbai LTT (~16:20 hrs) the following day.
- 01164: Similarly timed runs; also departs Velankanni around 03:00 hrs, arriving at 16:20 hrs next day, operating approximately once weekly (Mondays in 2025 schedule).
- These services were announced by Central Railway to handle pilgrimage rush, with varied coach compositions (AC‑II, AC‑III, Sleeper, General).
🧳 Summary Table
| Train No. | Route | Departure (Velankanni) | Arrival (Mumbai LTT) | Journey Time | Frequency (2025) | Context |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01162 | Velankanni → Mumbai LTT | ~03:00 hrs | ~16:20 hrs next day | ~37–38 hrs | Weekly | Festival-season special train ✳️ |

✳️ These specials ran during the Velankanni festival in August–September 2025.
🔎 Other Services
- There is no permanent daily Velankanni–Mumbai direct train; rather, connectivity is maintained via through bookings or multi-leg trains connecting via Chennai or other major hubs.
- The Vasco da Gama–Velankanni Weekly Express (17316/17315) covers Velankanni → Goa / Mumbai indirectly (via Tiruchirappalli, etc.) but does not run to Mumbai.
- Fastest regular option from Nagappattinam to Mumbai is 11018 KIK LTT Express, which departs Nagappattinam around 14:55 hrs and reaches Mumbai in ~34–35 hours. It’s often the most reliable daily option.
✅ Planning Tips
- Future special runs like 01162 / 01164 are typically announced well ahead of festival seasons (Velankanni festivals in Aug/Sep).
- Central Railway press releases or IRCTC notifications are best to track updates.
- Booking windows and coach availability are released via PRS and IRCTC about 1–2 weeks before departures.
- For daily travel, 11018 or connecting via Chennai (using 16186 return Link Express) may provide better reliability.
ℹ️ Bottom Line
There is no daily permanent train directly from Velankanni to Mumbai. Special fare trains like 01162 and 01164 operate during peak pilgrimage seasons, typically in late August to early September, connecting Velankanni and Mumbai LTT with ~37–38 hour journey times. Outside festival times, travelers rely on through connections via Chennai or indirect services.
