Location
Avadi railway station (station code: AVD[3]) is an NSG–2 category Indian railway station in Chennai railway division of Southern Railway zone.[3] It is one of the major railway termini of the Chennai Central–Arakkonam section of the Chennai Suburban Railway Network. It serves the neighbourhood of Avadi, a suburb of Chennai located 23 km west of the city centre. It is situated at Tirumalairajapuram locality of Avadi, with an elevation of 26.85 m above sea level. According to a railway release in 2008, there are plans to develop Avadi station as a coaching terminal (satellite terminal) for Chennai Central railway station, on the lines of Tambaram station being developed as a terminal for Egmore railway station.[4] Later in 2023, the plans of making Avadi or Ambattur as terminal were dropped, and Villivakkam was chosen for development of terminal station.
