Chennai Egmore in all it's glory.
Chennai's second most famous station lies barely more than a kilometre away from it's more famous counterpart Chennai Central. Lying centrally on the Chennai Beach-Tambaram-Chengalpattu line, Egmore is the gateway to Southern Tamil Nadu. Though connected countrywide, Egmore is more a terminus for trains coming from Southern cities like Madurai and Trichy, and an important passing station for the MSB-TBM-CGL line.
As more and more trains are now shifted and based in Tambaram, Egmore's stock has only raised over the years.

is very easy to get multiple forms of transportation from Egmore.
The closest metro stations are Egmore Metro, Chennai Central Metro and Thousand Lights. The closest major station locally is Chennai Central, represented by Chennai Park on the MSB-CGL line.

Very nice pics.
Can someone tell me which station in Chennai is adjacent to M A Chidambaram Cricket stadium? I was watching the recently concluded Test Match and every drone video of the stadium shows a metro station/ railway station nearby. When I read about it I found out it was a railway station not a metro station but the railway line, the station structure all look like a metro station only.
Thanks

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
