This happens daily, min of 1.30 mins delay in peak hour services. No train frequency. Importance is only given to arakkonam...

There has been water logging in the subway of Tambaram Sanatorium railway station for the past three days. All the ways are closed to avoid level crossing by public. There is no other way to come out of the station on the Chitlapakkam side except a narrow slushy path where lot of plants are grown. Commuters find difficult to pass through the way. Railway authorities should act fast to remove water logging inside the subway. They have to provide...

I was travelling from CBE to SBC on 13th July 2015 by Train 12625 Island Exp by 2A. When the train reached Whitefield the Coach attendants started demanding tips from passengers and scowled at some who did not oblige. This is a new practice creeping in in this region. I have experienced this in Rajdhani Expresses about which I have lodged complaints earlier. This practice should be curbed early before this spreads to other trains in the region....

So, Please protect we passengers travel in road......
