Commuters unhappy over choice of Perambur as Chennai’s fourth terminalPremium
Southern Railway is facing criticism for its decision to make Perambur the fourth railway terminal in Chennai. Many commuters and social activists believe Perambur is unsuitable due to inadequate infrastructure, traffic congestion, and its proximity to Basin Bridge station, which experiences similar operational challenges. They suggest alternative locations like Tiruvallur, Pattabiram,...

Chennai mein chautha railway terminal banne ke liye Perambur ko chuna gaya hai, lekin is decision se kai log khush nahi hain. Commuters aur social activists ka kehna hai ki Perambur mein infrastructure kaafi kam hai, traffic bahut zyada hai, aur Basin Bridge station jaise problems bhi wahan hain. Unka suggestion...

Perambur is good to reach but only after Metro is completed. I think Chennai Beach will be the best option
MAS/MS/MSB - all three is in core and heart of the city. MSB is the heart of the chennai city so that would be the best option.

But would not that affect ICF ? Is it safe to have ICF and terminal next to each other? There are questions - I feel like they can make Chennai beach as 4th terminal instead of Perambur.

Yes its a success cause of college and IT but if you look at people reaching from West and North (like my GPD or TRL or AJJ) , its a pain. Need 2 hour of EMU journey to reach TBM.
Whereas Perambur or MSB is in the heart of the city and its a midpoint like MAS to West, South and North people cause for everyone its 45 mins EMU journey. Does it make sense?

Not sure ! Main lines would be the EMU lines - here is the weird part if the terminal is proposed on the left side of the station - how would the long distance train cross to express track towards AJJ - it should go via EMU main line which would affect the EMU traffic. Or they need to construct a railway brigge post Villivakkam to land on the terminal directly from the express line running above EMU line without affecting EMU traffic (like GDR rail bridge)

Its the pain with the traffic I would say. TBM is good again its hit for sure but its not for all the people of Chennai and Suburban chennai. A terminal is needed in the city for sure.
5 and 6 line would not solve the problem of crossing to the terminals.
A rail bridge making the train to cross to the terminal would work I feel like

No traffic to MAS is more from West than MSB, I dont think its good to make MAS as only express terminal. Moore Market should defnitely exists for suburban
Ambattur is better too like Avadi.

Exactly ! Getting rid of Moore market complex is like getting rid of local station at CST lol. Not happening.
Yes MSB is good station like Churchgate but every suburban terminal serves purpose.

Good TT, But too late departure of VB from MYS. I would say 13:00 Dep of VB from MYS makes more sense than 16:00 PM. That would give enough maintenance of VB at MAS and it can arrive around 19:00 . (20:00 to next day 05:00 yard time at Basin bridge )

No need of all these stuffs .The train can start CST at 20:00 pm to reach Mangalore earlier.That makes on time departure of train from Mangalore and 04:30 arrival at CST. RSA just makes the cleanliness bad . Instead of 22:00 just makes the departure time of train at CST to 20:00 . Morning 05 to night 20:00 is enough for primary maintanence of the train at CST

Its because now both stations are Scor. Just changing the departure time of CST to 20:00 instead of 22:00 would help to make it on time

Oh okay,Do you think its a useful extension lol?They could have extended it to bangalore via katpadi instead of Kadapa

No the point is it has early morning arrival at CST and that cannot be changed. People want early morning arrival.Thats the whole point,If you want 20:00 departure from MAQ or MAJN then the current TT itself is feasible . Thats not the point
