poor planning between tbm and msb

From single ladies special train you guys are providing 2 ladies special. Announcing first 6 coaches are for ladies apart from the 2 existing ladies compartments. How the hell do you think in remaining 4 coaches the public can board. Atleast if you guys planned not to send both ladies special one after other it would have made sense. Worst worst ever services provided by tambaram railway authorities....

resume the timing of beach-chengalpattu train at 18.07 hrs itself

Address: Perungalathur, Chennai 600063, Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Train no.40557, beach-chenglepet train was operated at 18.07hrs till 30.6.19. But from 1.7.19 onwards its timing was changed to 18.27 hrs. The gap between the previous chenglepet emu and this one is nearly 1 hr.

Since it is quite obvious that 18.00 hrs is the peak return time of the office goers, this time gap leads to foot board travel on the already crowded train. It is high time when we reach our destinations.

request to implement changes in chengalpattu beach emu train timings

Address: 2/457, III MAIN ROAD, VENKATESAPURAM, VANDALUR, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, 600048

SR has revised the Chengalpattu - Beach emu train timings. Though the trains are scheduled in good manner to serve the people, the train never arrives the station in the scheduled time. Further in the evenings there is a long gap between the trains to Chengalpattu which results in reaching home very lately. Such long gaps and non arrival in the stipulated time only results in over crowd of the train. Hence arrival of train and extension of...

ladies special

Sir

Suddenly your office changed the full ladies special train into half. This creates a lot of practical problem to us.
Today in the first ladies special train, out of the allocated first 6 coaches gents boarded the train in coach 2 and 4.
Nobody deboarded them.

Please look into the matter. We are comfortable with the existing practice of full ladies special single train. Even gents were used...

change in the timing of beach-chengalpattu train 18.07 hrs

Address: Vandalur, ch-48, Chennai, Tamil Nadu

From 1.7.2019, train no. 40557 beach-chenglepet which usually starts at 18.07 hrs have been rescheduled to 18.27 hrs. The gap between the previous chenglepet (17.38 hrs) and this emu is nearly 1 hour. As this is the peak hour of travel of the train commuters, this particular train is over crowded.
As this is already overcrowded in the fort station itself, people going beyond tambaram station are forced to travel on foot board or else...

no proper indication of each platforms

Sir/madam,

I'm sorry to inform that at arokkanam junction it is very confusing for passengers to board the correct platform. There are many numbers written in each platform. Platform 6&7 across platform 1 is very hard to find. There is no proper indication in platform 1 to go to platform 6 & 7. I'm sorry to say that arakonam junction is a famous place and it is without proper indication and signs to lead to correct platform....

train timing

Address: Perungalathur, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, 600063

The local train from chengalpattu to chennai beach is always not arrived on time. It is delay by 30 minutes always which inturn we passenger not reached our office within the time.. Because only one track is available after the tambaram station. If express train comes then local trains are getting delay by 20 to 30 minutes. So that other trains also getting delayed and people suffer more and travelling in a footboard which results in accident....

not a complaint all but praises for the wonderful decision

Address: PERAMBUR, 600082

Railways was wasting time, money and energy under the foolish and self centered idea of some crancky rly minister. A gross wastage and sinful depletion of scarce resources. I am extremely happy to read in the newspapers that some general compartments are added to this. Congrats for this wonderful plan and adding general compartments to this. Eventually phase out this ladies special....

Auto stand people in tambaram railway station (East tambaram) stops and doesn't allow other autos inside railway station.

I will always book my auto and there is place for vehicles to come and drop/pick "u turn" where people can get into the vehicles. It is useful especially for old and elder people. Auto stand people will stop, fight and never allow other autos like ola/uber or any other. They charge 100rs for less than one...
