'''New Aryankavu''' (Code: AYVN) is a new railway station opened on [[Kollam–Sengottai branch line|Kollam–Sengottai railway line]] connecting [[Kollam district]] in [[Kerala]] with [[Tirunelveli district]] in [[Tamil Nadu]], during the year 2018.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/in-other-news/310117/cross-border-trains-to-tamil-nadu-likely-to-chug-off-from-may.html |title=Cross-border trains to Tamil Nadu likely to chug off from May |work=Deccan Chronicle|date=31 January 2017 |access-date=9 April 2018}}</ref> The station is also known as ''Palaruvi railway station'' as the station lies very close to the famous [[Palaruvi Falls]] in Kollam district.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/new-rail-station-likely-to-be-named-palaruvi/article19272718.ece |title=New rail station likely to be named ‘Palaruvi’ |work=The Hindu |date=13 July 2017 |access-date=9 April 2018}}</ref>

==Relevance==
The idea to build a new crossing station between {{stnlnk|Thenmala}} and {{stnlnk|Aryankavu}} on [[Kollam–Sengottai branch line|Kollam–Sengottai railway line]] was came up in the year 2013<ref>{{cite web|url=https://indiarailinfo.com/station/map/new-aryankavu-ayvn/12142#st |title=New Aryankavu railway station (AYVN) |publisher=India Rail Info |access-date=9 April 2018}}</ref> when the expert team found that the 114 years old {{stnlnk|Aryankavu}} has a gradient of only 1 in 260 suitable to accommodate meter gauge trains.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-kerala/trial-run-held-from-new-aryankavu-to-edamon/article19831637.ece |title=Trial run held from New Aryankavu to Edamon |work=The Hindu|date=10 October 2017 |access-date=9 April 2018}}</ref> So the team identified a suitable site for a new railway station with the gradient of 1 in 400 that can accommodate a broad-gauge yard in future. Around 330 trees were cut down to build the New Aryankavu railway station<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/gauge-conversion-project-faces-hurdles-in-aryankavu/article5182457.ece?homepage=true |title=Gauge conversion project faces hurdles in Aryankavu |work=The Hindu|date=30 September 2013 |access-date=9 April 2018}}</ref>
