Cochin Harbour Terminus

Suggestions towards its revival

•After the bridge to the island gets completed,the passenger trains could be extended to Cochin harbour terminus.
•The budget gave green signal for the Ernakulam-Kollam MEMU services.The vast space and infrastructure at the station could be utilized to setup the MEMU shed.
•The station could be made the base for MEMU services in Kerala.
•Redirecting some long trains from Thiruvananthapuram Central to Cochin Harbour Terminus would help to reduce the congestion in the rail network.
•Considering the legacy associated with the station,it could be a halt for the exhibition trains.
