Central station has been congested for years, and no meaningful steps have been taken.
Alternate terminal at Royapuram, Tondiarpet, Salt Cotaurs or Avadi would have helped.
Suburban services bound for Gumidipoondi have not...

Diverting trains like ALLP-DHN and Raptisagar via Perambur to free up Platform space would allow for 3-4 originating night trains.
Dependence on Egmore has come down thanks to the success of the satellite terminal. Tambaram is handling more volume, but the need for the 4th line upto CGL will become unavoidable a few years down the line.
please wait...Translate to HindiCentral station ko ekdam khichdi kar rakha hai saalo se aur koi kaam nahi hua. Royapuram, Tondiarpet, Salt Cotaurs ya Avadi pe alternate terminal hona chahiye tha.
Gumidipoondi jaane wale suburban trains ko Beach station par divert kar dena chahiye tha taaki Basin Bridge par Express rail traffic ko takleef na ho. ALLP-DHN aur Raptisagar jaise trains ko Perambur ke through divert karne se, platform space khali hoga aur raat ki 3-4 shuruwat wali trains chal sakti hai.
Egmore par dependance kam hua hai satellite terminal ke kamyabi ki wajah se. Volume ke liye Tambaram ka istemal badha hai, lekin CGL tak 4th line ka hona zaroori hoga kuch saal mei.
