Kochi : Ernakulam MP Hibi Eden has called for urgent measures to resolve long delays in the retendering process for Ernakulam Town (North) railway station redevelopment and fast-track the ongoing redevelopment of Ernakulam Junction (South) station to meet its target completion deadline. In a written representation submitted to Union railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw , Eden urged the railway ministry to approve construction of third and fourth railway lines along the Ernakulam–Shoranur corridor, one of Keralam’s busiest rail routes. He noted that additional tracks are essential to increase line capacity, accommodate growing passenger and freight traffic, and enable the launch of new train services. To improve train speed and network efficiency, the MP requested speedy completion of automatic signalling work along the Ernakulam–Vallathol Nagar section, and the immediate sanction for full automatic signalling on the entire Ernakulam–Thiruvananthapuram trunk line. Addressing the rising demand for fast interstate connectivity, Eden requested the ministry to evaluate and introduce two new Vande Bharat Express services on the Ernakulam – Mumbai and Ernakulam – Chennai routes. The MP urged Vaishnaw to personally intervene and issue necessary directives to the railway board and relevant zonal railway administrators to execute these demands on a priority basis.
