CHENNAI: Even as major maintenance works at Chennai Egmore Railway Station have been completed and suburban electric train services have resumed their regular schedule, Southern Railway has announced temporary changes in select express train services in view of ongoing Phase 4 renovation works at platforms 10 and 11, said a report by Daily Thanthi.
For the past few weeks, maintenance activities at Egmore led to the shifting of electric train operations from platforms 10 and 11 to platforms 5 and 6 from February 20, along with a reduction in services that caused inconvenience to daily commuters, including office-goers and students.
With the completion of key works, suburban services have now returned to normal from yesterday morning.
