Chennai to Madurai by train

TonyH · Aug 1st, 2007, 04:08

Hi everyone

We are coming to India again and are arriving Chennai at 00.50 in the morning on a Wednesday in November 2007, and we need to get to Egmore railway station to get a train to Madurai.

Can anyone tell me how long it will take for us to get from the airport to Egmore station by taxi, and what time train can we catch for Madurai?

How long will the train journey take from Egmore to Madurai?

Thank you very much in anticipation

Once I got in a cab, it took me about 50 minutes to get from the airport to my hotel near Egmore.

The following is from another post.

Quote:

Go to the following page.

TRAINS Between A Source Destination Pair

Source Station Name - CHENNAI EGMORE

Destination Station Name – MADURAI JN

Class - All Class

Then click on Get It.

(Indian Railways is now 'day of week' sensitive, so if the journey you plan to take will be on a Monday, make sure you enter a date that is also a monday to view all trains that run on a monday)

onto next page........to get availability.

Click on circle next to train number.

Please check Days Of Run as not all trains are daily.

Look at top left of screen.....

Enter Your Journey Date - 20 - Oct. (for example)

Enter Quota - General or Foreign Tourist Quota

Look at the top right of the screen for Classes, click on the circle next to the class you want (make sure it's on the same line as the train you want).

Then click on Get Availability

If you want to see a few different dates for the same train, do not select a date, the site will give you the availability for the selected train for the next 6 times it runs, and then the next 6 and so on.

This site can be slow.
