All About Kerala and Beyond

It is learnt that Thiruvananthapuram Railway division has prepared a master plan to develop Kochuveli railway station (estimated to be over 80 crore rupees).

The highlights include 11 track platform and a nine storey station building! If implemented this will solve the congestion problems at the Thampanoor railway station.

It also needs to be seen how the travel problems from Kochu veli to city will be taken care. As of now there are not enough buses from Kochu veli to city.
