Vikram Sarabhai Terminal (Malayalam: വിക്രം സാരാഭായി റെയില്വേ ടെര്മിനല്) earlier called Kochuveli Railway Station (Malayalam:കൊച്ചുവേളി) is one of the main stations of Thiruvananthapuram city in the Indian state of Kerala. It is being developed to ease congestion on Thiruvananthapuram central station.[1] .The Vikram Sarabhai Railway satellite terminal is located towards the north of the city, approximately at a distance of 9 kilometers along the NH66 Trivandrum City byepass.[2]
The Railway Station was opened in 2005 for express trains because the main station Thiruvananthapuram Central was exhausted with many trains. Some long distance trains operate from this station.
It is proposed to have 12 Platforms in Vikram Sarabhai terminal of which 3 will be in first Level.This is will be the first multi Level Railway station in the Southern Railways once it is commissioned.
