Excellent maintenance. This is a very busy railway station and the station will not be free even for 30 mins. From the evening 5pm to midnight 12, there will be trains on atleast 2/3 platforms and a lot of people will be commuting during the time. The safety and security are well managed and one can definitely be safe. There are lot of food stalls and every shop is cleanly maintained. There are 6 platforms and escalator facilities are also available... Platform# 1 will be the busiest and most of the trains are directed to the platform on all days.

Good. But the shops are very less. I mean if youre in a train and need to buy food, you need to walk a little bit.

Its just that they have switched off the wide LED display during this pandemic. It would be so bright and ease of use for assisting the passengers. Nevertheless, the place is just awesome.

Madurai is closely associated with the Tamil language, and the third Tamil Sangam, a major congregation of Tamil scholars said to have been held in the city. The recorded history of the city goes back to the 3rd century BCE, being mentioned by Megasthenes, the Greek ambassador to the Maurya empire, and Kautilya, a minister of the Mauryan emperor Chandragupta Maurya. Signs of human settlements and Roman trade links dating back to 300 BCE are evident from excavations by Archeological Survey of India in Manalur.[11][12][13] The city is believed to be of significant antiquity and has been ruled, at different times, by the Pandyas, Cholas, Madurai Sultanate, Vijayanagar Empire, Madurai Nayaks, Carnatic kingdom, and the British East India Company British Raj.The city has a number of historical monuments, with the Meenakshi Temple and the Tirumalai Nayak Palace being the most prominent. Madurai is an important industrial and educational hub in South Tamil Nadu. The city is home to various automobile, rubber, chemical and granite manufacturing industries.[14]Madurai has important government educational institutes such as the Madurai Medical College, Homeopathic Medical College,[15] Madurai Law College, Agricultural College and Research Institute. Madurai city is administered by a municipal corporation established in 1971 as per the Municipal Corporation Act. The city covers an area of 147.97 km2 and had a population of 1,470,755 in 2011.[16] The city is also the seat of a bench of the Madras High Court. The Madurai Bench has been functioning since 2004.

Nice station with beautiful entrance gate as shown in the figure. RO water is available at every platform. Escalator facility is also available at every platform. As compare to crowd the station consists of less platform. The cleanliness and neatness is maintained perfectly. Wating A/C hall is available in 10 rupee per hour which also have clean washrooms. This station also provides pay and use toilet. Each and every latest things are updated at this station. One thing is very bad here that is Hindi language there are spelling mistake everywhere.

Madurai Railway Junction is an important station for passengers travelling down south to the southern most tip of India. It caters to the southern districts of Tamilnadu. Apart from being one of the most important junctions not only in Tamilnadu but across India it also caters to a maximum of Tourism.Being a junction for travel across tourist destinations like Madurai in itself,Kodaikanal,Munnar,Rameshwaram, Kanyakumari,it also connects to Tiruananthapuram in Kerala.Madurai being a historical city with the Meenakshi Temple being its star attraction is 10 lakh plus Population Town.The Junction has all amenities, including a Vinayagar temple at its entrance, Parking facilities, provision for Bus transport, Toilets,RO drinking water provision, escalator in the 2nd platform,Food mall in the 1st platform,battery operated van for helping differently abled passengers.The Junction caters to more than 20 trains in a day.It has 5 platforms,but primarily the 1st and 2nd platform is used for most of the trains.However, being such an important station cleanliness is at its bare minimum. The lobby and the 1st platform smells horribly. Infact I felt the floors have not been swept for several days. Water leaking from faucets sets a picture for sore eyes.The place is full of mosquitoes. The platform floors are uneven and broken,not laid properly.Infact, to my surprise, the other platforms were much neater in comparison to the 1st one. This could be usage related and the authorities should evenly spread the usage.The Vaigai express was launched from Madurai on 15th August 1977.In Meter gauge I presume.Madurai definitely deserves better.

Madurai is an old city and so is its railway station. It has all the basic facilities. It has enough seating or waiting area.

One of the most busiest southern railway station.. Find mixed cultured people.. One of the way to reach Madurai Meenakshi Amman temple.. Can hire taxis outside of the station.. Also local buses to connect inside the city. Walkable to Periyar bus stand.. Facilities like waiting hall, paid toilets, lodging near by, cab services, taxis, Autos are available.. Tourists helpdesk setup during peak seasons.. You can also go to kodaikannal from here.. But you need to switch buses from station.. Be aware of your holdings to avoid missing..
