Commuters unhappy over choice of Perambur as Chennai’s fourth terminalPremium

Southern Railway is facing criticism for its decision to make Perambur the fourth railway terminal in Chennai. Many commuters and social activists believe Perambur is unsuitable due to inadequate infrastructure, traffic congestion, and its proximity to Basin Bridge station, which experiences similar operational challenges. They suggest alternative locations like Tiruvallur, Pattabiram,...

Arakkonam, or Royapuram, citing better infrastructure, land availability, and connectivity. The railway official justifies the choice of Perambur due to its proximity to Loco Works, Carriage Works, and the Integral Coach Factory, allowing for land utilization without acquisition. The official also emphasizes the need to accommodate 26-car rakes, which other options lack. Villivakkam was ruled out due to limited land availability.

hai ki Tiruvallur, Pattabiram, Arakkonam ya Royapuram jaise jagah pe terminal banaya jaaye. Unka kehna hai ki in jagah pe better infrastructure, land, aur connectivity hai. Railway official ka kehna hai ki Perambur isliye chuna gaya kyunki ye Loco Works, Carriage Works, aur ICF ke paas hai, jisse bina land acquire kiye terminal banaya ja sakta hai. Unka kehna hai ki 26-car rakes ko chalane ke liye bhi Perambur ek acha option hai. Villivakkam ko isliye reject kiya gaya kyunki wahan land kam hai. Salt Cotaurs aur Royapuram pe bhi socha gaya, lekin Perambur ko Central ka satellite terminal banaya gaya kyunki Central ke aas-paas land kam hai aur flood ka risk bhi hai.

ICF would be retained. The C&W Workshop would have to be relocated elsewhere as a consequence.

Beach station is occupied with South (and soon North) suburban trains. Royapuram (needs relocation of the loco shed) was considered, but then dropped.

issue with Perambur Carriage Works would be what happens with the current suburban lines as they would be sandwiched between the current long-distance lines and the proposed terminal (which would have to come up on the southern side).
