In a clear jab at the UPA, Gowda said that in ‘previous years’ the objective had been to announce projects but that most were never completed on time. He also said that the Railways was expected to earn like a commercial enterprise, but serve like a welfare organisation and that it was difficult to achieve both goals together. Among the major announcements in the speech, Gowda said that there would be a special train which would impart the teachings of Swami Vivekananda to help spread good morals. It’s not clear where this train would run from. He also added said that special trains would continue to run to meet the holiday and festival rush including services for Melmaruvathur, Velankanni, Jhalawar etc. Below is the full list of new trains: Jansadharan Trains Ahmedabad–Darbhanga Jansadharan Express via Surat Jaynagar–Mumbai Jansadharan Express Mumbai–Gorakhpur Jansadharan Express Saharasa–Anand Vihar Jansadharan Express via Motihari Saharasa–Amritsar Jansadharan Express Premium Trains Mumbai Central–New Delhi Premium AC Express Shalimar–Chennai Premium AC Express Secunderabad-­ Hazrat Nizamuddin Premium AC Express Jaipur–Madurai Premium Express Kamakhya–Bengaluru Premium Express AC ExpressTrains Vijayawada­-NewDelhi-AP-Express(Daily) LokmanyaTilak(T)–Lucknow(Weekly) Nagpur–Pune(Weekly) Nagpur–Amritsar(Weekly) Naharlagun–New Delhi(Weekly) Nizamuddin–Pune(Weekly) Express Trains Ahmedabad–Patna Express(Weekly)via Varanasi Ahmedabad­ Chennai Express(Bi­weekly)via Vasai Road Bengaluru–Mangalore Express(Daily) Bengaluru–Shimoga Express(Bi­weekly) Bandra(T)–Jaipur Express(Weekly)Via Nagda,Kota Bidar–Mumbai Express(Weekly) Chhapra–Lucknow Express (Tri­ weekly)viaBallia,Ghazipur,Varanasi Ferozpur–Chandigarh Express(6 days a week) Guwahati–Naharlagun Intercity Express(Daily) Guwahati–Murkongselek Intercity Express(Daily) Gorakhpur–Anand Vihar Express(Weekly) Hapa–Bilaspur Express(Weekly)via Nagpur Hazur Saheb Nanded–Bikaner Express(Weekly) Indore–Jammu Tawi Express(Weekly) Kamakhya–Katra Express(Weekly)via Darbhanga Kanpur–Jammu Tawi Express(Bi­weekly) Lokmanya Tilak(T)–Azamgarh Express(Weekly) Mumbai-Kazipeth Express(Weekly)via Balharshah Mumbai–Palitana Express(Weekly) New Delhi-Bhatinda Shatabdi Express(Bi­weekly) New Delhi–Varanasi Express(Daily) Paradeep–Howrah Express(Weekly) Paradeep–Visakhapatnam Express(Weekly) Rajkot–Rewa Express(Weekly) Ramnagar–Agra Express(Weekly) Tatanagar Baiyyappanahali  (Bengaluru) Express(Weekly) Visakhapatnam–Chennai Express(Weekly) Passenger Trains Bikaner–Rewari Passenger(Daily) Dharwad–Dandeli Passenger(Daily)via Alnavar Gorakhpur–Nautanwa Passenger(Daily) Guwahati–Mendipathar Passenger(Daily) Hatia–Rourkela Passenger Byndoor–Kasaragod Passenger(Daily) Rangapara North–Rangiya Passenger(Daily) Yesvantpur–Tumkur Passenger(Daily) MEMU services Bengaluru–Ramanagaram 6 days a week(3Pairs) Palwal–Delhi–Aligarh DEMU services Bengaluru–Neelmangala (Daily) Chhapra–Manduadih (6days a week)via Ballia Baramula–Banihal (Daily) Sambalpur–Rourkela (6 days a week) Yesvantpur ­Hosur (6 days a week) Extension of run of existing trains 22409/22410 Anand Vihar Sasaram Garib Rath Express to Gaya 12455/12456 Delhi Sarai Rohilla Sriganganagar Express to Bikaner 15231/15232 Gondia Muzaffarpur Express to Barauni 12001/12002 New Delhi Bhopal Shatabdi Express to Habibganj 54602 Ludhiana–Hissar Passenger to Sadulpur 55007/55008 Sonpur–Kaptanganj Passenger  to Gorakhpur 55072/55073 Gorakhpur–Thawe Passenger to Siwan 63237/63238 Buxar–Mughalsarai MEMU toV aranasi 63208/63211 Jhajha–Patna MEMU to Jasidih 64221/64222 Lucknow-Hardoi MEMU to Shahjahanpur 68002/68007 Howrah–Belda MEMU to Jaleswar
