It serves the neighbourhood of Ambattur, a suburb of Chennai located 17 km west of the city centre. It is situated at Varadarajapuram in Ambattur, with an elevation of 19.18 metres above sea level. HistoryThe first lines in the station were electrified on 29 November 1979, with the electrification of the Chennai Central–Tiruvallur section. Additional lines at the station were electrified on 2 October 1986, with the electrification of the Villivakkam–Avadi section.[1] On 21 January 1946 at 4.15 p.m., Mahatma Gandhi visited the station, who was received by Kamaraj.{{citation needed|date=March 2014}} LayoutThe station has seven tracks, including three loop lines, and has three platforms. The first platform is a side platform and houses the station's entrance and the ticket counter. The second and third platforms lie on an island platform. The platforms are connected by means of a footbridge. A second footbridge built at the level crossing connects the northern and southern sides of the neighbourhood. In 2001, Southern Railways renovated the footbridge at the level crossing at a cost of {{INR}} 400,000.[2] A railway concrete sleeper manufacturing company is located at the northwestern side of the station, which is served by loop lines radiating from the station.{{Citation needed|date=January 2013}} As of 2013, the station handles about 30,000 passengers a day.[3] DevelopmentAccording to a railway release in 2008, there are plans to develop the 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] In June 2014, the station was renovated in a major way after decades of neglect.[5] See also
