Public advisory
Before you leave
Match the Chennai Division list to the date you are travelling. The three named trains do not share one set of nights. If you change to Metro, an MTC bus or a road vehicle, leave extra time. The published Guindy window ends at 2:45 a.m. on 4 October. That clock is not a notice that every local is back.
