Trains in Kerala will experience temporary diversions, extra stops, and delays due to track renewal work being carried out at the Ernakulam Junction railway yard, according to the Railways. Due to the maintenance work, several trains will be diverted through the Kottayam route instead of the usual Alappuzha route. As
a result, some scheduled stations will be skipped, while temporary stops will be provided at other stations for passenger convenience.
