Velachery Railway Station - Railway services in Chennai - Chennai, India

This is the Last station of this route... There are lot of birds like crows and pigeons inside the railway station. Rest rooms are not well maintained and very less benches to sit down. Lacking of cleanliness.Paid parking available for two wheelers..

According to reports, the Madras High Court has permitted the Southern Railway to remove the encroachments on the contentious 3.9-acre land owned by the government in Velachery worth over Rs 150 crore. It was allotted by the State government 15 years ago for the Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) project. Interestingly, one of the 'encroachments' that will have to be moved is a fish market constructed on a 20-cent land by an AIADMK member. News reports say that the MRTS services will be extended upto Velachery in April 2007. Velachery Railway station as it appears on March 17, 2007.

The train services here are reliable. Auto services are readily available, ensuring convenient transportation. The presence of two-wheeler and four-wheeler parking facilities is a plus for commuters. However, the area's appearance is somewhat shabby, in need of construction and improvement. Many constructed spaces are underutilized, with numerous abandoned buildings. Optimizing these structures could revitalize the area and make it more functional for residents and visitors alike.

The start of MRTS to Chennai Beach.Large scale infrastructure where most of the places is not in use.Rather than cost of train need much more people attraction inside the premises.

Well kept with station police present all the time should improve on keeping things little beautiful-close to Grant square mall and D-Mart super market

it is a main station and last one . The station serves as a major transportation hub for commuters traveling between the southern suburbs and the city center. is equipped with basic amenities such as ticket counters, waiting halls, restrooms,(no great overall) and well parking facilities.subway available but It is easier to cross the railway tracks to get out It would be good to change that. The station are kept very clean. It would have been a bit better if the seats etc had been modernized. The time has come for the railway station in a big city like Chennai to be modernised.

I've seen many people come here without a ticket and get caught it's just 5 or 10rs come with your ticket dude if it's any emergency or you missed your ticket here's a tip for you, don't go through the front side instead go through the middle side which leads you to the bike parking lot at the back side use this trick and enjoy. Most importantly that place is peaceful.

Had a great experience at velachery railway station. Station was surprisingly clean, was shocked the moment when I saw it. But was disappointed by seeing the restroom.
