[Resolved]  Southern Railway (Chennai Suburban) — Train Timings from Velachery to Beach

Address:

Chennai, Tamil Nadu

I travel between Velachery & Chennai Beach in the morning and in the reverse direction in the evening. After the recent train timing changes , the departure timing from Velachery is 7:55 AM , 8:10 AM , 8:30 AM and 8:45 AM. The peak crowd has to board one these trains which includes employees of non-government offices, school students & teachers, College students & teachers. There is a train once in 15 minutes and there is a gap of 20 minutes between the 8:10 AM train and 8:30 AM train. All the school students board the 8:30 AM train and this train becomes overcrowded and till Mylapore it is overcrowded especially in the ladies compartments. Since most of the passengers are children it may lead to minor / major accidents to entrain / detrain a crowded train. Please try to do consider one of the following suggestions (a) Introduce a train at 8:20 AM (b) arrange the 8:30 train with 9 carriages so that it can accomodate more crowd.
