Is there any straight suburban electric train to chengalpet from perambur?

Question

Dear friends where should I board the suburban trains to reach chengalpet, my starting point is permbur railway station.what time will it take for me to reach chengalpet? can you guys provide me with the train timings.

Answer 1

From perambur come down to Chennai Central, take a subway to cross the road to reach park station, and from there catch a train to Chenglepet via tambaram.*

Also u can come down to tambaram and have a change as there are few trains which starts from other stations and goes via tambaram to chenglepet.*

Answer 2

Suburban trains generally operate short out-and-back services, The composition of the train (in terms of the number of carriages, classes of accommodation) is generally consistent, and cleaning and servicing does not need to be done at the completion of each trip, as it does with long-distance services. Electric locomotives (as opposed to steam) became a practical proposition in the 1880s. However, an important problem was that the means of control - by 'shunting' most of the electricity through banks of resistances to get the train moving, and then 'removing' the resistances from the circuit one-by-one as it accelerated - had to be made by means of a rotary controller operated by the driver. The size of the contacts inside the controller was proportional to the currents to be handled and thus the more powerful the locomotive was, the larger the controller was. In the 8-wheeled locomotives used on the Central London Railway in England, the controller took up most of the cab, being something like four feet square and nearly five feet high, even though the total output of the locomotive was less than 500 hp. In the 1890s an American named Sprague invented the 'multiple-unit control system', which used a smaller low-voltage rotary controller wired to relays that switched the actual traction currents. On locomotives it meant that the all of the actual control gear could be housed in the body, and separate cabs provided at either end. More importantly, it meant that a train could have smaller motors and control equipments spread out along the train on two or more carriages, all of which could be controlled simultaneously from cabs built into the carriages at the ends of the train. This eliminated the need for the locomotive to 'run round' at either end of its journey, or to provide a separate engine that had to be coupled on for the return journey. It also shortened the train length, as the equipment could now fit beneath the floor. In addition, trains could be made up to any desired length provided there were the correct ratio of 'motor' coaches to 'trailers', and the length of trains could be easily altered 'in service'. This is frequently done on commuter services: Off-peak, four-coach (say) trains may suffice, each with motor coaches and cabs at either end. In the the 'Peak' periods two or three such trains are coupled together to form eight- or twelve-vehicle trains. The system was later adapted for diesel-engined trains and locomotives. In the USA in particular, the locomotives used are generally of low-power, and as many are coupled together and worked 'in multiple' as is necessary to provide the total power needed for the train. In many countries, more and more passenger services are now operated by multiple-unit trains, of both electric and diesel power.

Answer 3

there are no direct trains. u can take a train to central. then go to the park station and take a train which goes to chengalpet...... there is one train from park to chengalpet every hour. the rest stop at tambaram. the timings change with every station. and since its only once every hour, it'd b better if you could go there n chk it.

Answer 4

Change of train needed! You will have to go to the web site or refer to the rly time table in print, to get accurate info. on the train timings, as the info. needs updating from time to time!

Answer 5

no there is no straight train.you have goto central from perambur.from central go to park station
