			Platforms 1 and 2 handles the trains towards the North (PF No. 1 for trains via [[Alappuzha railway station\|Alappuzha]] [coastal railway line] & 2 for trains via [[Kottayam railway station\|Kottayam]]). The lines via both sides meet up at [[Ernakulam Junction railway station\|Ernakulam Junction]] station[South station] but the line via Kottayam diverges to the Northern side [<nowiki/>[[Ernakulam Town railway station\|Ernakulam Town]] - North station] about a kilometer away before the line loops over to meet the line from Alappuzha at Ernakulam Junction. This is to decongest the railway traffic at Ernakulam - the trains via Alappuzha stops at Ernakulam Junction but not Ernakulam Town and the trains via Kottayam stops at Ernakulam Town by taking the diverging line without entering Ernakulam Junction except a few number of trains that stop at both the North and South stations.

			Platforms 3 & 4 handles the trains running towards the Southern side ([[Kollam Junction railway station\|Kollam]] - [[Thiruvananthapuram Central railway station\|Thiruvananthapuram]] - [[Nagercoil Junction railway station\|Nagercoil]] - [[Kanniyakumari railway station\|Kanyakumari]]). PF 3 handles trains from Ernakulam via Alappuzha and the PF 4 for trains from Ernakulam via Kottayam.

			Platform 5 is reserved for the passengers that originates from Kayamkulam and terminates at Ernakulam Junction. The 6th track adjacent to the fifth track of PF 5 is used for goods trains to load and unload goods at Kayamkulam.




			==Services==
			The train services that originate from Kayamkulam are the four passengers of which three terminate at Ernakulam and one at Alappuzha.

			56380 (Kayamkulam - Ernakulam) is a daily passenger via Alappuzha that starts from Kayamkulam at 8:20 am and reaches Ernakulam at 10:50 am.

			56382(Kayamkulam - Ernakulam) is a daily passenger via Alappuzha that starts from Kayamkulam at 12:55 pm and reaches Ernakulam at 3:30 pm.

			56388 (Kayamkulam - Ernakulam) is a daily passenger via Kottayam that starts from Kayamkulam at 4:30 pm and reaches Ernakulam at 7:45 pm.

			56378 (Kayamkulam - Alappuzha) is a daily passenger that starts from Kayamkulam at 10:20 pm and reaches Alappuzha at 11:30 pm.
