The railway station at Santragachhi will be developed into a terminal in the next three to four years to allow South Eastern Railway (SER) more flexibility in operations. Though some long-distance trains do originate and terminate at Santragachhi at present, it doesn't have the facilities that a terminal should. Most SER trains are forced to use the congested Howrah station where operations are controlled by Eastern Railway (ER).
Santragachhi, once it becomes a terminal, will be popular among those living in south Kolkata as it can be easily reached via Vidyasagar Setu. With a bus terminal being built there, accessibility to the terminal will also improve.

there is EMU train available between SRC & HWH, but my point is little different, I am not suggesting to all train pushing to HWH or SDAH, rather I am asking for a new terminal station which is in congested area of main Kolkata proper town, like salt lake, new town, ultadanga, ballygunj, behala, jadavpur, dharmtola, rabindra sadan, airport, nager bajar, salt lake karunamoyee etc, These area can easily be reached from anywhere in kolkata at a very short time, SRC station can not be reached easily at late night or early morning to catch the train or returning to home at proper kolkata (specially for North Kolkata people- it is very hard)
Will there be EMU service after the conversion of SRC into terminal?
there is EMU service in SRC, santragachi to mecheda, santragachi to panskura but it is very very rare & low frequency, according to my knowledge daily 2-3 services between those station, but u can catch all the up/down EMU trains which are from/towards HWH - towards/from KGP, it all halts at SRC
PF1 of SRC has short pf shed. Full pf shed is required in SRC for all PFs. One FOB is needed on the ADL side.
there is nothing- for which SER has thinking of developing the SRC station to a terminal station, why not SER thinking kolkata main town base any congested area for making a new terminal station ??
