To facilitate the movement of suburban and long-distance passengers in north Chennai and Tiruvallur district, Southern Railway on Thursday inaugurated three major facilities in presence of Vice-President M Venkaiah Naidu. One is a Chennai-Nellore Express MEMU, which will help commuters come to Chennai for work in the morning. Another is a two-storey passenger reservation centre in Thiruvottiyur with eight counters, akin to Chennai Central and Egmore. The third is a foot over-bridge at the same station which is a longpending demand of passengers in light of safety issues.
The Express MEMU Service, Nellore-Chennai Moore Market Complex-Nellore (66056/66055), will be a boon to commuters travelling between Chennai and Nellore and for those using the northeastern line of the Chennai suburban corridor, Southern Railway said in a statement. While the regular service from Chennai Moore Market Complex began on Thursday, the Nellore-Chennai Moore Market Complex service will commence from Nellore on Friday.
Train 66056 is scheduled to leave Nellore at 5.45am every day and arrive at Chennai Moore Market Complex at 9.05am, halting at Vedayapalem (5.55/56), Venkatachellam
(6.00/01) Gudur (6.25/26), Nayudupeta (6.50/51), Sullurpeta (7.10/11), Tada (7.22/23), Gummindipundi
(7.40/41) and Ponneri (7.54/55).
In the return direction, train 66055 will leave Chennai Moore Market Complex at 4.30pm and reach Nellore at 8:20pm, stopping at Ponneri (5:14/15), Gummindipundi
(5.34/35),Tada (6.09/10), Sulllurpeta
(6.23/24), Nayudupeta (6.49), Gudur
(7.29/30), Venkatachellam (7.49/50) and Vedayapalem (7.57/58).
The passenger reservation system centre at Thiruvottiyur, built at₹40 lakh considering the station’s status as an important rail head in North Chennai, will have five counters on the ground floor and three on the first floor, rivalling the number of counters at Chennai Central. Considering that the station receives heavy passenger inflow from the eastern and western sides, a foot over-bridge connecting the sides has been built as part of the Korukkupet-Thiruvottiyur fourth line at ₹1.42 crore.
A new booking office with a toilet for staff was inaugurated at Akkampet Railway Station, between Sullurupeta and Tada in Andhra Pradesh’s Nellore, which gets a number of passengers for its proximity to Tirupati railway station. A limited use subway, built in lieu of LC 34 at Gummidipundi yard at ₹2.13 crore was also inaugurated.
