Southern Railway plans to decongest Coimbatore Junction by laying three additional lines in Coimbatore North Station. Three new platforms, including an island platform, will be established by shifting the Good Shed to Thudiyalur Station. Thudiyalur Station will also be converted into a Crossing Station to operate more trains between Coimbatore and Mettupalayam.
