Chennai Beach-Chepauk flying train service suspended from 1st July to 31st January 2024 EXPIRED
The Chennai Beach-Chepauk flying train service(MRTS) will be temporarily canceled from July 1 to January 31, 2024. This suspension is necessary to facilitate the construction of the much-needed 4th track between Chennai Beach and Egmore.
Unfortunately, due to the absence of a 4th railway line, it becomes challenging to introduce additional train services or run freight trains during certain times.
Moreover, most trains traveling to northern states depart from Chennai Central Railway Station, which often results in overcrowding. To alleviate this congestion and establish an alternate route for trains heading to northern states via Egmore railway station, passengers have long advocated for the construction of the 4th railway line between Chennai Beach and Egmore.
Due to the suspension of electric train services from Chennai Coast to Chepauk for the construction of the new railway line, commuters face transportation challenges when traveling from Velachery to Chepauk and subsequently to the Central Railway Station. To address this issue, the public has urged authorities to extend the train services up to Chindaharipet, where bus and metro rail facilities are readily available at Simpson.
This e extension would greatly benefit individuals commuting from Tiruvallur, Arakkonam, Tiruthani, and surrounding areas, providing them with a more convenient transportation option. The public`s demand to run trains from Velachery to Chindaharipet has gained prominence in light of these circumstances.
