The Thrissur Railway Passengers’ Association has petitioned Union Minister of State for Tourism K.J. Alphons to help introduce a daily intercity express between Ernakulam and Salem and a daily express train between Ernakulam and Rameswaram.
The association also requested for more MEMU rakes for Thiruvananthapuram and Palakkad divisions.
The Ernakulam Old Railway Station Development Committee petitioned him requesting speedy completion of track replacement up to Pachalam.
The committee demanded that fresh diesel-run train service be launched from the station to Guruvayoor-Rameswaram.
