Southern Railway Complaints & Reviews

Recent past weeks in the rush hour railway operate most of trains to beach as ladies coach (First six compartment for ladies and last six compartment for general). It means railway assumed 50/50 male/female. Unfortunately your assumption is wrong. Only 33 percentage female and 67 percentage male are travelled. It is clear that all ladies coaches not occupied. 67 percentage male passengers travelled rest of six compartment likely goods train. Please do field verification. Suggestions. Female and male ratio as 4 : 8. It should be first 4 for ladies and last 8 for only gents or first and last two compartment for ladies middle eight for gents. Thank you.

From single ladies special train you guys are providing 2 ladies special. Announcing first 6 coaches are for ladies apart from the 2 existing ladies compartments. How the hell do you think in remaining 4 coaches the public can board. Atleast if you guys planned not to send both ladies special one after other it would have made sense. Worst worst ever services provided by tambaram railway authorities.

I have lost a black colour bag with certificates in the name of prvallika, please help me find it.

This happened while travelling from beach road chennai to tambaram station. We got off the train by leaving the black color bag. Please help me find my certificates.

Please help me get contact details of respective people who clean the train and depoist bag if found in train. Or let me know where i can find the information.

Arakkonam ladies train was usefull and ideal for ladies especially
For school childrens in the morning time and office goers in the morning
As well as in the evening. But from 1-7-2019 it is split as 5 compartments
Only for ladies and 4 compartments for common. Now there is no place for lot of ladies as they are standing while travelling in this train because already it is full while arrival in chennai beach station. Actually this is
Disgusting and none of the ladies travelling in this arakkonam ladies train
Expected this to happen. Instead only male passengers are satisfied,
Eventhough they got occupancy in most of the compartments
In all the emu trains, out of which there is only 2 compartments for ladies
In all the emu trains. So we request the railways to reverse the order as
Arakkonam ladies train for full occupancy of ladies atleast from
Velacherry to thiruvallur and then continue for occupancy of
Ladies and gents till arakkonam. Hope this will be changed effect from
Atleast 1-8-2019 onwards.

Train no.40557, beach-chenglepet train was operated at 18.07hrs till 30.6.19. But from 1.7.19 onwards its timing was changed to 18.27 hrs. The gap between the previous chenglepet emu and this one is nearly 1 hr.

Since it is quite obvious that 18.00 hrs is the peak return time of the office goers, this time gap leads to foot board travel on the already crowded train. It is high time when we reach our destinations.

Considering he safety scenario, southern railway may please consider of operating the beach-chenglepet emu at the old time (18.07hrs) itself.

SR has revised the Chengalpattu - Beach emu train timings. Though the trains are scheduled in good manner to serve the people, the train never arrives the station in the scheduled time. Further in the evenings there is a long gap between the trains to Chengalpattu which results in reaching home very lately. Such long gaps and non arrival in the stipulated time only results in over crowd of the train. Hence arrival of train and extension of ladies special train upto Chengalpattu is requested.

Sir

Suddenly your office changed the full ladies special train into half. This creates a lot of practical problem to us.
Today in the first ladies special train, out of the allocated first 6 coaches gents boarded the train in coach 2 and 4.
Nobody deboarded them.

Please look into the matter. We are comfortable with the existing practice of full ladies special single train. Even gents were used to it and until june we faced no such problem of gents boarding ladies special

From 1.7.2019, train no. 40557 beach-chenglepet which usually starts at 18.07 hrs have been rescheduled to 18.27 hrs. The gap between the previous chenglepet (17.38 hrs) and this emu is nearly 1 hour. As this is the peak hour of travel of the train commuters, this particular train is over crowded.
As this is already overcrowded in the fort station itself, people going beyond tambaram station are forced to travel on foot board or else not able to board the train in the forthcoming station. Also we are reaching our destination very late (Late by more than half an hour).
We request to resume the chenglepet service in the same time (18.07 hrs) and postpone the tambaram emu (Now starting at 18.07hrs at beach station) to 18.27 hrs. So that, we the chenglepet train commuters could travel safely and reach our destination in time.
Railway could consider this, since prior to 18.07 hr emu, 2 ladies special trains are departing, no problem is for passengers of tambaram.

Sir/madam,

I'm sorry to inform that at arokkanam junction it is very confusing for passengers to board the correct platform. There are many numbers written in each platform. Platform 6&7 across platform 1 is very hard to find. There is no proper indication in platform 1 to go to platform 6 & 7. I'm sorry to say that arakonam junction is a famous place and it is without proper indication and signs to lead to correct platform. I'm feeling very sad to say this even though we live in an era of technology at its peak : (Request you to properly put signs to correctly lead passengers to correct platforms and for a happy ontime journey for the passengers.

Indian citizen

The local train from chengalpattu to chennai beach is always not arrived on time. It is delay by 30 minutes always which inturn we passenger not reached our office within the time.. Because only one track is available after the tambaram station. If express train comes then local trains are getting delay by 20 to 30 minutes. So that other trains also getting delayed and people suffer more and travelling in a footboard which results in accident. Every year new people's are coming to chennai with lakhs in numbers (Who are searching jobs) but the number of trains is not increased so far. We are very frustrated by daily going to office not within the time... Please increase the train frequency... Passenger s are really struggling in train and travelling footboard on a daily basis because train is not increased according to the number of increasing people in chennai. So that only it happening. Please consider it mind. No one is caring about the people in chennai..

Railways was wasting time, money and energy under the foolish and self centered idea of some crancky rly minister. A gross wastage and sinful depletion of scarce resources. I am extremely happy to read in the newspapers that some general compartments are added to this. Congrats for this wonderful plan and adding general compartments to this. Eventually phase out this ladies special.

I registered this complaint on public interest as well as personal request to all southern railways top officials and C/S government as a tax payer and citizens of India demanding favorable answer from SR
For platform tickets SR is collecting 10/= and fine for platform tickets is sum 255/=
I HAVE STEPPED TO STATION JUST FOR 2 MIN INSIDE THE PLATFORM AND I HAVE BOARDED MY WIFE AND BABY 1 HALF MONTHS OLD AFTER THE TRAIN PASSES AWAY TC CATCHES ME AND ASKED FOR PLATFORM TKT I have said her all the details she was not acceptable I was having questions to her that per year/month how much this station is contributing on basis of platforms tickets
Southern railways doesn't provide any gud facilities like
1.wifi
2.high tech station like metro
3. Good ambience
4. Temporary parking slots
5. Only manual ticket counter no machine are working
6. Ticket issuer is not well dressed or not in uniform
7. Poor water supply

Im not boarding express trains every day we are boarding into LOCAL SUBURBAN TRAIN STATION TRY TO UNDERSTAND AND PLZ DON'T LOOT HARDEARNED MONEY

When I go to tambaram from egmore, i have parked my two wheeler in the egmore railway station at 7.40 pm and told them that I would come back next day and they told me to pay Rs.20 and I have paid the same. When I come back on second day at 6.40 am next day, they told me to pay another Rs. 25 apart from Rs.20 which i have already paid. when i enquired they told that this is the rate fixed by the Government. Totally I have paid Rs.45. That means for extra four hours I have paid 25. In the notice board it is mentioned as for 12 hours the charge is Rs.15, for 24 hours the charge is Rs.20, and after 24 hours the charge is Rs.25.What does it mean, is it fair rate. Even for two days parking, they would have charge Rs.40 only.But I have paid Rs.45 for one day and four hours. can Southern railway take necessary action against this.
The staff working in the parking stand they behave like rowdys when i enquired about this they told that you go and complaint at an

We are coming in chengalpattu to beach train that reaches tambaram around 8:46 am (At vandalur 8:23 am)
Ladies special at tambaram station starts at 8:43 am. (Toward beach)
We are about 300+ ladies getting down out of our chengalpattu train to catch that ladies special
But driver guard and railway staff of tambaram insensitively moving train from tambaram station when our train is just entering inside tambaram station, all the ladies in our train are shouting. That ladies special train is running very less crowded, our train is extremely our crowded, we ladies travel in over crowded train travel in all standing upto guindy and mambalam stations

That ladies special should wait for 4 minutes for the benefit of 300+ ladies in our train
You can come and watch at tambaram station arounf 8:45 am one day and see if that ladies special just stops for our connection train how many ladies are benefited by moving to that ladies special

Today (6th may 19) i travelled in train no 12602 towards chennai at midnight 12.30am when i am nearing salem railway station i found more than 50 unreserved male passengers travelling in the s8 coach disturbing the reserved passengers by sitting in the seats specially near to ladies seats. I informed tte and train captain mr. Amarnath (. Mobile no : [protected]) and also raised the complaint in 1512 and 182 immediately. But the response was not really happy. Finally i got out of the train in jolarpet station due to harassment fear.
