A station with views of TNs or Chennais own version of Kerala with a chain hills .
The station is strategically important as it is one of the stops between tambram and chennai beach. Only local trains stop here. Please dont expect any other kind of trains to stop here. It has shops for drinking water and the charges are very low. It has shops for snacks too. But tobe honest it is very dirty with plastic bottles all over the track. Please find it in the image here.
One of the major station in Tambaram to Beach suburban train service.
Every Friday you can visit
My place for past 50 years
You can get budget friendly homes for rent and you can get budget friendly groceries from sandhai
Railway station is located away from the Pallavaram busstand.Pallavaram station is located next to chrompet towards Tambaram and net to thirusulam towards beach .Ticket counter is available at ground level.Subway is available for crossing the station.Very near to Pallavaram market.(பல்லாவரம் சந்தை .)No toilet facilities are available here.People can get down on both the sides of the platform towards Chennai beach.
This is one of the chennai local station. Small in size but well maintained. You can travel to Tambaram & Beach from here.
A railway station which is crowded forever. The station will have drinking water and food cafeteria. But it does not have escalators. It has only steps. The ticket counter is crowded always. Pallavaram station is next to tirusulam when train comes from beach and it is next to chromepet when it is moving towards beach.
A convienient station for people located in Pammal, Keelkatlai and surrounding areas.
Pallavaram railway station is located in the rail route of chengalpattu to Chennai Central railway station.. Connectivity is good. Pallavaram market is located very nearby to pallavaram station. Reaching this station via market will take some more time..As per now, Metro is not available in this area..
Very cheap train travel
Sunset view from pallavaram bridge
Too many steps to climb and disembark. Very old fashioned, may be last modified and upgraded 3 decades back.Needs sprucing up and upgrade badly. Only solace is that the autos outside are reasonable and polite. Pallavaram is a place with historic significance, but there is no board to indicate the presence of pallava rock cut caves or the temples nearby. The railways can do well to add such boards as well.
Faces the same problem as other stations- only one or two ticket counters are open even during peak hours, frequency of trains should be increased during peak hours, safety should be increased, and the peak hour crowds should be handled better. Otherwise the connectivity in the city and the mobility the trains offer to the citizens is excellent.
Very good railway station but isnt supported by escalators and lift and we shall climb all the way. There may be crowd even in at 1:00-3:00 sometimes. Good service. Trains accelerate very quickly. High speed. Good connectivity. But seats are very limited.
Need more facilities
No escalator. Should make announcements before every train could arrive. Self ticket welding machine does not work without a concerned person being there, which is not correct. Otherwise there s no problem.
You can take a commuter train from here to the North and South of the city of Chennai. Station and trains are very basic but functional. At peak hours it is a certain degree of skill to board and alight from the train.
Id been travel from this railway station 15 years ago.Can see difference in terms of cleanliness inside railway station but still no change surrounding compound.No automatic ticket vending machine.
One of the buzzing railway stations in the city. It has been improved quite well and the ticket counters are expanded. The waiting area can be kept more clean.
Good railway station. Good drinking water is here with less than 10 rupees. Phone charging point is in the first platform
Well connected with Highway - city bus and small bus service heading for the neighborhood. Road over bridge on the station is not maintained properly. Traffic towards Airport on the Road over bridge is not possible due to the temporary one way system due to the construction of new Flyover on the Highway.
Easily got ticket. No vending machine though. Old fashioned railway station.
An important suburban rail station..providing cheap connectivity to imp locations..... But poorly connected to Pammal municipality... So commuters are forced to use overcrowded city buses..also its neglected by Railways..
Nice experience to get ticket, one person is there with ticket vending machine near the ticket counters.... That person is very fast in ticket distribution
I didnt see any public restroom but the station and scenery is more peaceful and beautiful compared to crowded stations. You can get public transports and auto when you go the left side of the station
The railway station has been the mode of transport for me whenever I want to go inside the city or two catch the trains from tambaram to south tamilnadu. Over the years the railway station have transformed better and it is decently maintained.
Train station for local travel. Electric trains stop here. Very average station. Elevated platforms are provided to cross rail tracks as well as the busy Mount Road (which is really a plus point).Parking facility for two wheeler is available (However it is very crowded as it is located in a small place). Autos are available. Town bus stop is also there..
Very calm and hassle free station..do not take autos just outside the station as they charge very much ...
Station has developed here over the months. Locations of ticket counters have been changed. There are 2 canteen stalls which you could see when you enter the platform. Sub urban(local) trains stop in this station. Fast trains and express trains do not stop. To board express you have to go to either Tambaram or Chennai Egmore, in which Tambaram is the nearest. There are also restrooms which are not on the platform but some few distance away from it below the stairs. Be sure to visit!
Good place
The worst station... It only has 2 entry and exit points. There is no Exit towards the highway. You have to cross the tracks in order to reach the highway... The station could have been in the middle of the platform so that it easy for the commuters to go from both the sides.
Good maintenance and train information will be announced properly. Have to improve the cleanliness area.
Looking busy station road with all shops running empty without customers. I was looking for a good vegetarian eatery. got one which is OK..but expected more
Worst maintenance Pls try to maintain cleanliness in Station.. ND especially in Ticket counter members are treating passengers as their maid people...We give 10Rs for 5Rs ticket means they will not give the remaining change in our they will throw the change..Overall its very very disappointing...
Okay but needs more facilities like express train stopping because pallavaram connects anakaputhur, kundrathur, punthamalli, pammal, chrompet and lot of areas. Another request is for Wi-Fi facility
Past few years I have been staying in Pallavaram,nice place where family/bachelor can live.all items are available at lowest price. famous for Friday market ,yaa mohaideen Briyani stall🌝
From this place we can take towards thambaram or beach station local train. This station is accessible for central railway station, airport, beach, t nagar etc. No car parking and not recommend for physically challenged people.
One of the major station in Beach Tambaram section but Railway Department ignores this Station cleanliness, amenities such as FOB, Waiting lounge...
U have to walk through a road to station which is always rush and not clean
Neat and clean.. but always very crowd while in office times
Super place nice ticket counter and frequent ticket checking
Good morning yes I am also workingThis company we are sellingGood moter bikes No.1Thank you.
Great place to spend your time. You can spend all your time just by watching the passing trains whole day long.
U can travel from here towards beach or towards chengalpat or kanchipuram or even arakkonam
Nice station they are maintain it properly . Some times trains are come late
Not at all having cleaninesss and maintaince of the swacha Bharat Avihan ,the central govt failed to provide basics facilities to there citizens 😔, no toilets or drinking water . No Sitting arrangements.
Its a clean station. IRCTC canteen available. RO drinking water dispenser present, as usual like other stations, no CCTV cameras. we can find regular checking of passengers by ticket checkers......so, anybody who wants to board or get down at Pallavaram railway station, ensure yourself that you are carrying a valid ticket and ID proof.
It is beautiful place and easy to cross the road and so many shortcut to go to clg for near like vels college and many market are easy to buy you may all come
One of the oldest suburban railway stations. The leading roads are congested. The station is always active with lot of people and vendors. Every 10 to 15 mins trains are available between Tambaram and Beach.
Good place...We have a local train for every fifteen minutes..Be careful sometimes they are checking the tickets...
Local trains only is very useful and also available pay and use toilet . very near for the Pallavaram bus stand
Not too bad.....But need some neatness and water facility
Pallavaram sandhai is near to pallavaram railway station...Weekly Fridays...The famous pallavaram sandhai
Very old and famous station. near pallavaram market. Good thing is they are maintaining it as clean
Best station.Food stall available.Easy access to nearby places.
Platform was neat ... Available of water and snacks , Book stall, on time announcement makes passenger comfortable.

Its easy to travel to the airport because its the next station to pallavaram. 😜Railways station Maintenance is good but not great...As I said the next station is Airport so many hostres were staying in pallavaram.Much more the VELS UNIVERSITY is a college which is presented. So many students were travelling through the train because its safe and fast to get long distances... 😜and there is a market which can provide many things at a low cost and at a nice quality...And the Pallavaram Bus stop is nearby the station at a walkable distance so its not to worry if the train is too late...Moreover trains were at 15 to 20mis to this stations for Chengalpattu.Beach Tambaram Train will be take 5mins to come.. 😜So not to worry for beach station.So kindly LIKE 👍this comment if its useful to uh... 👇
Neat nd clean but only one exist is available in this station
It is a local railway station which has no stoppings for express trains. This station has facilities to eat in local shops over there and has seating facilities. Not more than that to expect anything in a local station
Untidy and felt steps are steep. With so much traffic, ease of access like Mambalam on the West side will be helpful.
Nothing special just another suburban train station No escalators available. East side entrance is convenient for auto transport
One of the well maintained railway station in suburban route. But the subway is not good
Cleanness has to be improved over all, especially on staircase . Flooring has to be cemented outside station up to railway bundary...
Pallavaram stn is just beside the Pallavaram market and so its very beneficial for merchants and travellers
We have local train every 10 minutes in peak hours from Chengalpatu and Tambaram to Chennai Beach. Two snakes shops are present in platform. Approach to Grand Southern Trunk Road is not easy. Station is neat but area around the station is not clean.
Pallavaram railway station is a very important link to nearby habitats - zamin Pallavaram, Pammal, and all nearby places like Kundrathur, Thirumudivakkam and Thiruneermalai.
Not well maintained
Need to clean more and more,railway should make path to ppl who going for friday market, night time suffering lot as wel RPF need to allocate full time
Good. But no escalator. Will be good if we have it.
Station with 4 platforms and 2 entrance. Located 1.5km away from the main gst road. It difficult to walk and get buses after train or before train. Not well maintained but moderate neat place. For both entry need to climp steps to get into platforms. All local trains will stop here. Very rarely express and passengers.
It just got a renovated TICKET COUNTER.Its just crowded during peak hours.Safe at any time.
There is a Direct train that starts from pallavaram to chennai beach everyday around 9.00am. It will come in platform number 2.
Good connectivity to nearby place by mini bus services
It has 4 platforms. 1&2 for local trains, 3&4 for southern expresses and not used at this juncture.Inside railway station premises : Facilities available - Electrical slots fo charging ,Water , Railway canteen , Newspaper and magazine outlet
2 Stars for Worst Management of the Approach Road and Old Foot Over Bridge on GST Roadside. The FOB is very badly designed and in Bad Shape and In Rainy Season, the Railway Station Road from GST Road is really an Hell.They have constructed a New Bridge for Climbing down from the Over Bridge to the Platform which is Good. Platforms are maintained better. Drinking Water Vending Stall is available.
From here we can able go any place in chennai..
Railway station was renovated and especially 5 stars for its new spacious staircase and ticket counter.
Pallavaram Railway station which connect sub urban trains towards chennai beach station and Tambaram, chengalpet. Easily accessible and two wheeler parking available and bus stop also nearby.
Nearer to the Bus stand. .we can board train towards TAMBARAM, chenglepet as well towards EGMORE, CHENNAI central railway station
This is Chennai Sub Urban Railway station. Next to Chromepet. Toilet facility available.. from here pallavaram bus stop 1 km
Cleaninness is seen all over station thanks to the pplz who take care
Which platform train will arrive pasanger wear not guided at all announcement was done on wrong platform
Worst infrastructure. No proper facility like water security toilet and you cant access to bus stop easily.Ticketing takes a longer. They can improve better. They ready to give free WiFi and not a toilet.
Very convenient. There is a Saravana Bhavan restaurant at the entrance to the railway station.
