Electric Train: Due to ongoing redevelopment work at Chennai Egmore railway station, there will be a temporary change in suburban train operations from midnight tonight.

Electric trains are vital for reducing Chennai's traffic. Service changes are common, and now, suburban trains are temporarily rerouted from midnight due to work at Egmore station.

Due to redevelopment at Chennai Egmore, trains from platforms 10 & 11 will shift to 5 & 6 from midnight tonight (Feb 20) to April 5 (45 days), says Southern Railway.

From Feb 20 to Apr 5, all EMU trains from Chennai Beach to Tambaram/Chengalpattu will use platform 6 at Egmore. In the return direction, all EMU trains will use platform 5.

From Feb 20 to Apr 5, current EMU services on the Chennai Beach-Tambaram line are canceled. They will run with new train numbers and times. No separate Sunday schedule will apply.

To manage train service changes, special buses are arranged. 50 extra buses will run, including routes from Royapuram to Kilambakkam and Pallavaram to Chengalpattu via Tambaram.
