Ernakulam-Kayamkulam rail line doubling work through Kottayam and Alappuzha will be over by 2014-15. Minister of State for Railways Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury has said that the work is going on as per the revised schedule and this was the first time that the Railway is providing ‘committed funds’ for track doubling in the busy corridor.

The Railways will coordinate with Kerala Tourism to renovate the station based on the State’s traditional architecture, he said. There are plans to purchase 30,000 coaches in the 12th Five-Year Plan to operate more trains and to augment coaches in existing trains. Reservation counters would also be opened in rural areas of the country, he added.
