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 Cricket 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
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
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]
