Perambur

A well known landmark in north Chennai. Developed a lot over the years but still need some clearance. Cleaners are doing a great job in maintaining the station clean but the authorities have to clear the pending work materials. It look dangerous with wires on the platforms.nnPassengers are crossing the railway tracks without any fears, vendors taking their stocks on tracks, people have to be more responsible. Small shops are available serving water and foods, quite helpful. Waiting area is very spacious and good for passengers hide under the shade while waiting for train. Trains going past every 10-15 minutes. Southern railway parking is quite cheap and affordable for everyone.

Beautiful place tk live and wonderful scenarios are here!!nAll the amenities are there to people live.Perambur has a notable railway town in the Indian Railways landscape as it is home to the Vande Bharat Express, produced at the Integral Coach Factory located here and also the presence of Chennai Rail Museum, in addition to the railway station serving to decongest the Chennai Central station by serving as a major alighting point for long distance trains passing through or terminating in the city from the North-Western end.
