తాంబరం రైల్వే స్టేషను: కూర్పుల మధ్య తేడాలు

There are nine platforms in the station. Platforms 3 and 4 are not used as the metre gauge lines are yet to be taken up for conversion, whereas those between 5 and 9 are used by the suburban electric trains between Chennai Beach and Chengalpattu and [[Tirumalpur]] and also long distance express trains. Most of the suburban electric train services originating from Tambaram to [[Chennai Beach|Beach]] and Chengalpattu leave from the first two platforms. There is a foot overbridge connecting East and West Tambaram with access to all platforms. In 2008, [[Southern Railway Zone (India)|Southern Railway]] started building an additional platform at the westernmost side of the railway station, making Platform No.1 a double-discharge platform, a design which helps commuters to alight on either side of the train, similar to the one at [[Chennai Park|Park Railway Station]], where the passengers could alight on the western side for quicker access to Chennai Central.<ref>{{cite news▼
