Chepauk is a station on the Chennai MRTS railway line.[1] It is located in the eastern Chennai neighbourhood of Chepauk near the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium. The station is built on the bank of Buckingham Canal.[1] The station was opened in November 1995 as a part of the first phase, when services were operated from Chennai Beach station to Chepauk.[2] As it is adjacent to the government offices in the area, such as Kuralagam and Doordarshan, the station sees many commuters who work in these offices.[3]
Services and connections[edit | edit source]
It is currently the fifth station from Chennai Beach station heading towards Velachery (Chennai MRTS), and is the thirteenth station from Velachery towards Chennai Beach station. The station building contains a 1500 square meter car park in its lower level.[4]
Nearby landmarks[edit | edit source]
M. A. Chidambaram Cricket Stadium is located adjacent to the station. The station thus offers a "vantage view" of the matches played in the stadium.[5] The University of Madras, Chepauk campus and the Tamil Nadu Public Works Department main building are also located near the station; the station itself serves as a commute to a large number of students, professors and government officials working in these premises.
