Largest railway station of goa state where SWR line of Vasco- Londa and KR lines of Mumbai- Karwar sections intersect.
Gateway point for South Goa important destinations like benaulim, cavelossim, palolem, Colva, galgibaga, fort Cabo de Roma, varca, bagmello,majorda etc as most of the trains skip canacona and majorda
Facility wise KR offers one restaurant (Benjoe restaurant at pf1 with separate veg and non veg sections. I tried veg kolhapuri and veg biryani , both were good in taste), retiring room, ac lounge,cloak room, FOB etc

Thanks for the comprehensive details on Madgaon station. Just a couple of points to add: There is an escalator on platform 1 which takes you to the top of the FOB. There is an AC lounge for AC passengers on payment (Rs 50 for 2 hours) on platform 1. The prepaid taxi stand is outside platform 1. There is an ATM and counter of Goa tourism, also outside platform 1. There is a new train restaurant called Margao Central located around 500 metres (approx.) on the platform 1 side ( click here (Matsyagandha and Netravati from Mumbai stop at Canacona. The SWR line from Vasco and the KR line from Roha meet at Majorda. The SWR line from Londa/Hubli meets the KR line at Madgaon
I was indeed waiting for your response. :D
Yes , the Vasco line indeed separates at majorda but long distance trains skip it that's why Mao served as the change point for most tourists ,that's why didn't mentioned it.
And yes, the ac lounge is quite good and clean forgot to mention it, after two hours they charge 40 RS extra
By the way,...

Yeah, I tend to respond on posts related to Goa. Here is one on Ben Joe's snacks window: /blog/post/3110257
I think I got misled by the phrase 'lines intersect' used by you in your first posting. Now that you say 'change point' I get what you meant
No, I have never eaten at Margao Central, although have passed it quite often when I alight/depart from MAO.

Now that you mention cashewnuts, Zantye is perhaps the most famous. Here is their website: click here
Another thing, if you want cashewnuts to munch then go in for roasted salted variety. Zantye's pepper cashewnuts are also very popular
