Linking Of Anna Nagar Railway Station With Metro Rail Network

 
Southern Railway had recently officially announced to revive the discontinued local electric train service from Anna Nagar Railway Station to Beach. It is a well known fact that the earlier operated train service was stopped to facilitate the construction work of the long pending Padi grade separator to reduce traffic chaos.

 Today Anna Nagar roads are getting narrower and congested as Chennai Metro Rail Underground stations construction work is fast progressing. Moreover there is a good possibility of Anna Nagar Railway station getting linked to the nearest metro station to -facilitate intermodal connectivity. 

Anna Nagar Railway Station located along Thirumangalam Road that connects Anna Nagar West and Villivakkam is surrounded by many residential localities, educational institutions, hospitals and commercial establishments. At present the 3 kilometer line is used by ICF to move new train coaches from Shell unit to Furnishing Division. Railway sources stated that from 2003 to 2007 five trains were operated from Anna Nagar railway station.
