Kochi, India (Metro Rail Today): Kerala is once again moving towards the development of a modern high-speed rail network, with the state government actively reviving plans for a new rail corridor connecting Thiruvananthapuram and Kannur. Unlike the previously proposed SilverLine semi-high-speed project that faced strong public opposition and was eventually shelved, the new proposal aims to minimise land acquisition and social disruption while delivering faster, affordable, and sustainable transportation across the state.
