KOCHI: The Ernakulam Junction and Town railway stations, which stood like an eye sore, in terms of design and passenger amenities, are getting ready for a major makeover as the old station buildings will be demolished for a major redevelopment project.
The project speaks of an ambitious plan of developing both the station areas into modern public service utility hubs. The highlights include a roof plaza on the lines of the waiting facility at airports, air concourse with separated aisle for arriving and departing passengers, upgraded platforms, skywalks, facilities for differently abled, lighting, landscaping and electronic signages on the platforms.
