4th Line is not enough. It's time to build to 5th and 6th lines in Ennore- Beach/ Central, Arakkonam- Central and Chengalpattu- Beach Lines. Dedicated Two lines of Freight Corridor, two lines for Long Distance Passanger and Two lines for Suburban Commuter Trains. All the 4 Main stations in Chennai must be strictly be used as Termius for Long Distance Passanger Trains. Katpadi could be transformed into gateway station for connecting rest of TN, Bangalore and Kerala to the North and East India, with Arakkonam are secondary geteway station. For that completion of Nagari- Tindivanam Line and Doubling of Reniguta- Katpadi- Villupuram line are need of hour.
Thambi, whatever I told 3 months back is 100% True. RBI did not gave land. I told, it will take 6 months to 1 year for completing this project. Almost 3 months over now.
Very excellent update you have given as of October 6th. In today' s Hindu Newspaper there is a detailed News item wherein it has been stated that MRTS Services will resume full fledged Between Velachery and Chennai Beach by 1St week of November 2024 and 4th line Project likely to be completed by end of November. Fully enjoyed your informative video. All the best. Take care.
நன்றி தம்பி இந்த ஃபோர்த் லைன் பற்றி வேறு சிலரும் வீடியோக்கள் பதிவு செய்து இருந்தார்கள் ஆனால் தங்களுடைய பதிவு மிக நேர்த்தியாக இருந்தது பாராட்டுக்கள் நவம்பர் மாதம் வேளச்சேரி முதல் கடற்கரை வரை ரயில் இயக்கப்படும் என்று கூறியிருக்கிறார்கள் பார்ப்போம் என்ன செய்கிறார்கள் என்று
MRTS can be stopped at park station itself. Beach station can be used as terminal for all Andhra based, Kolkata and north east trains. There are a lot of turns between beach and Egmore. Even up and down line come for express trains, speed cannot be increased.
Park has only 2 platforms and hence impossible to be a terminal station for MRTS. Take it from me. You will find express trains up line between Egmore and Beach and MRTS up line being the same . Express trains' down line from Beach to Egmore will be on the wrong side too.
Thank you for your very informative update. Work is slow and challenging. Land is a big constraint. Also since traffic is already running on 3 lines, work has to be done with caution. I understand priority now is to restore MRTS and then complete the 4th line. Are they installing a lift in the new FOBs? I understand Railway Board has taken a decision to instal lifts and escalators in FOBs wherever possible. Another issue wth suburban trains in all metro cities is the gap between platform height and EMU floor. Currently EMU floor is 4 ft above rail whereas platform height is 2.5 feet. In Chennai metro, platform height and floor height is almost same. You can make a video on this platform gap and denger it poses to commuters.
@@srirambalakrishnan8625 Thanks. May be once train service starts Lift facility might be installed as it takes more time. I think there is not enough space available for escalator facility i guess
Thanks for the excellent update. Today's Hindu paper has a news item which states that the MRTS trains will resume in the first week of November. Hope the work is finished fast before the rains.

My questions are even if the work will be completed by November, if there is going to be only one line between RBI and the beach station:- 1. Then, won't the frequency of the trains to and fro from velachery be hampered? The trains from beach going towards RBI will have to wait for the train going from RBI to beach to pass. 2. Before the work started, there were trains from velachery to arakkonam, avadi, thiruvallur, don't you think the resumption of these trains is not possible if one stretch is 1 line from RBI to beach.
Once MRTS train service starts only, we will know how they are going to manage MRTS train operation between Chennai Fort to RBI subway stretch. So we have to wait and see
Instead of doing all this and disrupting mrts services - southern railway could have just constructed a 4rth line from egmore terminal and connected it to d up line at chennai park or fort station of mrts
At this rate, with a very few labourers engaged here and there, could you please tell me how long will it take to complete not only the fourth track for main line, but also those two MRTS tracks and all platforms, foot over bridges, electric traction, ticket counters and finally the passenger’s amenities such as lights, fans, platform benches, tea shops etc.? I would say for your information that the gauge conversion of Beach - Tambaram 35 kilometers suburban lines were completed within three months in 2002.
@@ray8187 MRTS track work fully completed . New 4 th line track work almost completed apart from few metres. It will be completed within this week also. Passenger amenities work ( FOB ) is progressing at Park Town and Fort MRTS station. Track realignment work completed at Park station. If everything goes well within a month they can finish the work. My prediction by November or December we can expect Train service. Let us wait and see
@@NambiValavan WISH IT HAPPENS. LET THE SERVICE BE OPENED ON NEW YEAR OR ATLEAST ON AND FROM PONGAL DAY. "LET US WAIL AND SEE" HAS BECOME THE NEW TREND.
MRTS is a loss making project. So railway is not much interested in improving. The express up line is far fright the moment and next for express trains.
1. When Chennai will have local fast trains at 120 kms/hr from point to point? Example - Chennai Beach to Pondicherry etc. 2. What's the problem in privatisation of railways if they can provide fast trains n better facilities? Of course, ticket price will increase. Whats the tuition fees per year in government medical college n private medical college in Tamil Nadu? In govt colleges, its around INR 19,000 per year n in pvt colleges, its around INR 17 lakhs to INR 22 lakhs per year. Although there's a massive fees difference between govt n pvt colleges, pvt medical colleges exist in Tamil Nadu.
@@NambiValavan sir, the same question is for state transport corporation as well. Y we need to travel 4 hrs from Chennai to Puducherry for a distance of 150 kms? 🙏🏼🤞🏼🧿!
@@rsv6603 Government buses maximum allowed to travel around 80 km /hr speed due to safety concern. So in general govt buses takes more time. Better to be safe than sorry
I think at 11.15 crossover line also will do the purpose . Sometimes if there is no train coming in opposite side means they might use existing 3rd line as bi directional operation so that new 4th line can be used for MRTS Up line bound train ( Velachery - Chennai Beach direction ). I thought crossover line will be constructed before Fort MRTS station for MRTS line ( From Velachery towards Chennai Beach direction ) but unfortunately it was not executed
@@NambiValavan Yes. On the last point, it is too unsafe to cross over MRTS trains as the frequency expected would be much more in the coming years. MRTS should be left untouched. The odd express and goods trains can go through the 4th line in up direction without much ado
@@KS-yk2mh On last point I meant for crossover line exclusively between MRTS Up & Down line at Fort MRTS station, so that if needed MRTS trains can terminate at Fort MRTS station ( Chennai Beach bound passengers can interchange at Fort station and catch Tambaram - Chennai Beach EMU ) Avadi, Arakkonam , Gummidipoondi - Velachery direct trains can be operate via Chennai Beach in single MRTS line as it has less frequency ) MRTS trains can return back to Velachery from Fort station so that MRTS train service can be operate with 10 minutes frequency like before.. It is just my wish . Let us see how they going to manage MRTS train service between Fort - RBI stretch
Chennai metro trains is using 2 tracks only and they are able to run trains in 5 minutes gap. But, Indian railway. It is worst in managing platform and tracks.
Their signalling system is different and fully automated. Metro networks are much smaller in size so they can afford to use advance systems. Which isn't practical to use in Indian railways.
Yes ,but they are finishing other side and starting here because this side track is not laid , also after laying tracks they will start this side. Base for it is done, you can see so work will be done fast.
The railways had no problem in compulsorily acquiring land and demolishing private residential buildings for extending the MRTS lines from Velachery to St Thomas Mount. The delay in that case, according to my understanding, was mainly due to litigation about the compensation amount to be paid to the house owners whose land was compulsorily acquired. One cannot understand why the RBI cannot be similarly compelled to give up the necessary land area for public good. Why should there be one rule for acquiring land from private citizens and another rule for government entities?
St Thomas Mount is recently developed residential area. So it's easy to just pay them off. But the neighbourhoods in Parris Corner and Park Town have many historic Buildings, including RBI building. It's not easy demolish or alter any building of historic importance.
@kannans7027 There is nothing historic about the RBI Bldg. It came up only a few decades ago. Heavens will not fall if a small portion of the rearside of the RBI Bldg is demolished for accommodation of the MRTS lines in the interests of lakhs of passengers. It is a matter of high statistical probability that, if only one track is used over a short distance of the busy MRTS lines, of a serious accident occurring due to failure of signals and/or the points which will have to be frequently changed.
It is latest update only . I captured video on October 6th only. But i uploaded on October 9th. In between the time, track realignment work completed .
This is an old video. Yesterday itself, third line realignment has been completed without line block. So, don't say this is 30 minutes ago. Please post with latest video.
