'''Annanur railway station''' is one of the railway stations of the [[Chennai Central]]–[[Arakkonam]] section of the [[Chennai Suburban Railway Network]]. Located about 18 km from [[Chennai Central|Chennai Central railway station]], the station serves the neighbourhood of [[Annanur]], which is pronounced as 'Annanoor', a suburb of [[Chennai]] located west of the city centre. It has an elevation of 24.28 m above [[Mean sea level|sea level]]. The station also has an EMU car shed complex located on the southern side.

==History==
The first lines in the station were electrified on 29 November 1979, with the electrification of the Chennai Central–Tiruvallur section. Additional lines at the station were electrified on 2 October 1986, with the electrification of the Villivakkam–Avadi section.<ref name="IRFCA_HistoryOfElectrification">{{cite web

==Layout==
The station has four tracks and two platforms—a [[side platform]] and an [[island platform]]. The island platform houses the ticket counter. Unlike most other suburban stations on the network, the station lack several basic passenger amenities such as footbridge for pedestrian and macadamised road leading to the neighbourhoods.<ref>{{Cite news
