Given the space limitations at KTYM,Terminal facilities are difficult. Terminating some trains shud be done like Karaikal express,Bsp express(if possible),Poorna etc.
For long distance trains to originate,There needs to be Pitlines,Which if possible shud be constructed on the old tunnel line (now abandoned) similar to Alappuzha.
