Resume daytime train services
There were train services on the metre gauge between Tirunelveli and Kollam in the morning and evening from both ends. After broad gauge conversion, they were discontinued. If these services resume, they will be of much use to people from Kerala visiting hospitals in Tirunelveli, vegetable and milk vendors and regular commuters like students and business people. These trains will also benefit tourists visiting Courtallam, Papanasam, Karaiyar, Thenmalai and temple towns such as Tirunelveli, Tenkas,i Achankovil, Aryankavu, Kottarakkara and Kollam. A vistadome coach can be attached to these trains so that tourists can enjoy the scenery on the ghats.
