This station has a small cafe between platform 3 & 4. Morning Tea is mostly better. other eatables are also decent. This station has a RESERVATION counter with 2 windows and mostly only one window is manned. SBI ATM, Auto stand, Taxi stand are other facilities available here. Distance between Railway station and bus stand is some 2-3 Kms distance, from where you can avail bus services at frequent and regular intervals to the near by areas like Cuddalore, Chidambaram, Jayamgondam, Ariyalur, Perambalur, Veppur, Attur, Salem, Ulundoorpet, Neyveli (My Home Town) and for few other villages around it.
We used this station a few years back. We hired a car from Pondycherry, and came to this station. And then we took the Chennai Egmore- Rameshwaram Sethu Express to go to Rameshwaram.. It was around 8 at night, and the station was quite deserted and sleepy..
