This is the worst maintaining station i have ever seen. There only one foot bridge is there for connecting of all platforms. No lifts, only one escalator available, that is also on platform no 1 only. There is mo food stalls at 4, 5 platforms. Need to be arrange additional foot bridges for connectivity and convince of the people. I completely disappointed on it.

Nice railway station, all southbound trains from and to Chennai Egmore stop here except Tejas express, well maintained railway station, EMUs are available once every 10 minutes to Chennai Beach which goes through the Chennai city, EMUs depart to Chennai Beach in the first 3 platforms and Express trains arrive at the other platforms.The connectivity is bad as people have to cross a huge road, but they have constructed a new skywalk which improves connectivity.

We can get towards Chennai towards kanniyakumari and vedharanyam, Rameashwaram trains over here. Station they maintain fully secured with CCTV and local and long distance trains frequently. Because of Covid time now train are reduced limited time period only local train access is there before each and every 3 to 5 minutes train access will be there in Chennai Local train essy accessible also cost vise cheep also compared to Bus fare and metro train.One main drow back is toilet is not hygiene 95% station best thing the total Chennai local train itself you can travel more then 100km easily with low fares.Main station in Chennai is Tamabaram Guindy then Egmore central then Chengalpattu.Outside of station u can get lots of local and long distance buses and auto as well near by lots of shoppes there also u have to be focused on ur properties safety as well

Nice peaceful and unpolluted place but hectic sometimes and maybe display of coach versus platform position needs to be displayed on the platform instead of playing by the ear or relying on a A4 size paper pasted in an undisclosed location on the platform. This can be improved.

Tambaram Railway Station can be considered a centre point of TAMBARAM MUNICIPALITY. The west portion of Tambaram to the Railway station is West Tambaram and east portion to it is East Tambaram.It is the third busiest railway junction after Chennai Central and Chennai Egmore. But in revenue generation it is occupying 2 nd position after Chennai Central. It is a station with 9 platforms and 11 tracks. 1 to 4 cater to sub urban services to Chennai Beach, 5 to 9 cater to Chengalpattu, Tirumalpur and Express services to South.A foot over bridge connects all the platforms. An escalator at East Tambaram side is connecting the foot over bridge. A special platform 1 a is there enabling double discharge to alight and embark on either side of the train compartment. No such facility is there at any stations except Tambaram and Park Station.There are more than 160 to and pro services from Tambaram to Chennai Beach, 70 such services to Chengalpattu and 16 services to Kanchipuram. At an interval of say 10 minutes you can have a service to Chennai Beach, and at an interval of 20 to 30 minutes to Chengalpattu.There are both A/C and non A/C waiting rooms, Dormitories and Deluxe waiting hall and VIP lounge. Within the premises well established restaurants are there. You can board buses bound for various destinations in the specially constructed bus bays with in the station premises. Apart from this there are 2 bus stations one opposite to the station in GST Road and another in Velachery Main Road. They connects you to nook and corner of GREATER CHENNAI. A foot over bridge connecting TAMBARAM Railway Station with the Bus Station in GST Road is nearing completion. Pictures and a video of the FOOT OVER BRIDGE are attached herein.The Station is not wheel chair accessible. 2 and 4 wheeler parking lot is there both in the West and East side of Tambaram Railway Station. Reservation counters are there in the first floor of the main building. Ticket counters are there both in the East and West side. BUT CONSIDERING THE HUGE POPULATION OF NEARLY 4 LAKH COMMUTERS USING THE FACILITY MORE CONVENIENT MEASURES ARE EXPECTED FROM THE RAILWAY ADMINISTRATION.Most of all it is not user friendly from the view point of both SENIOR CITIZENS and DISABLED. IS IT POSSIBLE TO CLIMB MORE THAN 40 STEEP STEPS OF THE STAIRCASE from the platforms to the FOOT OVER BRIDGE?

Good maintenance.... good station.... because its central government undertaken...the only thing is they do all things reverse... the trains on the first platform go to workshop.....all important trains like pallavan comes on 6th or 7th platform.....also there is short distance to exit from 6th when compared to 1st .......the first 3 or platforms are generally for electric trains only.... its a complexity for regular passengers for to catch electric trains

Tambaram is the entrance of chennai who comes from south tamilnadu. Most of the trains depart from Egmore station to Villupuram, Trichy, Madurai, Tirunelveli and Kanniyakumari passes this station. There is a separate platform available for local electric trains which transit between chennai Beach station to Chengalpattu station . Few local trains goes from Tambaram to beach station in every 5 - 10 minutes. Two wheeler parking available in the campus itself.

Best developing area in near chennai..!Tambaram is a southern neighbourhood of Chennai, India, situated 27 km south of the Broadway. It is on the Chennai–Trichy national highway. The highway and the railway line from Chennai Egmore to Kanyakumari divide the town into East Tambaram and West Tambaram.Tambaram East is very good locality. It is very nice and beautiful locality. All basic amenities like hospitals, schools, colleges and markets are available nearby.

Tambaram railway station is an important railway station where thousands of people uses this. Mostly south bound trains will be arriving in Platform 7 & 8 n returning trains arrives at 5 n 6. The station is very neat n tidy. After scanning the baggages people enters but nowadays temp checking not done.If you want water, soda n biscuits etc better buy it outside n come.In the entrance there is waiting room n rest room for the passengers n it can be used as there is no rest rooms in the platforms. Many banks are having their ATMs in the station pemises(before entering inside for checking. Autos n Taxis are available in plenty.It has two entrances: one in the eastern side n the other in western side.There are 8 platfforms and platform number 1 has two platforms - 1 and 1A.

Always take train while going to my home town. East side has parking for free, but west side this charge rs 50. West side got option to leave the station with out using steps. Recently theyve introduced battery car service for elderly and disabled people free of charge. But most of the time either its not working or not available. Phone number for battery car available near the security guard in West side entrance.

Major junction in Chennai. Today when Im in this station, it was raining so heavy. What I feel is the drains were over flooded and started leaking. That should be maintained properly. Water flows through the gap in the roof thatch which can also be improved. Free RailWire is available. There are canteens and newspaper shops. People can use those facilities. The platform is kept neat and tidy
