CHENNAI: The work on laying the last few metres of the elevated Velachery-St Thomas Mount MRTS extension line has picked up pace and Southern Railway has begun developing St Thomas Mount railway station into a multi-modal hub.
A series of amenities are being installed to provide the station a facelift and also to enable it to handle the crowd of passengers expected from metro rail, suburban and MRTS trains. A broad foot over-bridge with three escalators and which can accommodate double the number of people than a regular facility is being readied. The machines have been installed and the roofing work is on.
