Vijayan ne Kerala-specific projects aur chal rahi lines ke liye funds allocate na hone par bhi roshni daali hai. Unhone khule mein Angamaly-Sabari project ke liye unutilised funds ke claims ka jawab diya hai, ye saaf karte hue ki ye funds different projects ke liye land acquisition ke liye the. Unhone yeh bhi bataya ki Kerala new projects mein collaborate karne ke liye ready hai, lekin unhone Centre ko Chengannur-Pamba line pe state se sahayog na mangne ke liye criticize kiya. Vijayan ne is baat par zor diya hai ki Centre ne Sabari rail line ko revive karne aur funds allocate karne ke liye Kerala ke requests ko ignore kiya hai, aur Centre par Kerala ke railway development ki requirements ko neglect karne ka ilzaam lagaya hai.
