History

Exit and ticket counter at the station

The 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.[2]

Layout

The station has four tracks, two exclusively for suburban trains. The suburban tracks are served by a side platform and an island platform. The station's entrance and the ticket counter are located on the side platform. The platforms are connected by means of a footbridge for pedestrians.

Traffic

On an average, suburban trains on the western rail route between Chennai Central and Arakkonam make about 260 trips through the station. As of 2018, more than 43,000 passengers board trains at the Korattur railway station every day.[3] The Korattur station chiefly serves college students and industrial workers from the Ambattur Industrial Estate.[4]

Developments

A subway to replace level crossing no. 4 at the railway station has been planned at a cost of 112.5 million, for which tenders have been finalised.[5]
