Thrissur Railway Passengers' Association, TRPA is the confluence of all the stake holders who are interested in the development of Railway facilities in and around Thrissur. Naturally, all the people who avail Railway facilities from Thrissur and other neighbouring stations are automatically the members of this association. Due to the historic reasons, commuters from Thrissur towards Ernakulam, Kozhikode and Palakkad sides form the active group. TRPA always stands for meeting the public demands and this process is well supported by Railway Men, Political Leaders and the Media in Thrissur. The tireless efforts by TRPA in achieving the long standing basic requirements of Thrissur are well recognised and appreciated by one and all. TRPA is committed to continue its service to the society at large, cutting across all divisions. "Our prime focus is on the sustainable improvement of rail service in the country to world class levels with special emphasis on Thrissur"

Short-haul passengers feel let down

Commuters are at a loss for words after hearing that no MEMU train was allotted for Kerala, said general secretary of Thrissur Railway Passengers’ Association P. Krishnakumar in his reaction to the Railway Budget.
“Fifteen express trains are set to become superfast trains within a week and their number of stops in Kerala will be reduced. In the absence of MEMU trains at convenient timings, this will put short-distance commuters in a fix.”
“Even worse, Mysore has now taken the place of Ernakulam in the high-speed railway corridor that was to link it with Coimbatore, Chennai and Bangalore. With next to nothing for Kerala, we can only hope that the railway will augment the number of coaches in congested short-distance trains,” Mr Krishnakumar said.
