==History==<br />
The lines at the station were electrified on 29 November 1979, with the electrification of the [[Chennai Central]]–[[Tiruvallur]] section.<ref name="IRFCA_HistoryOfElectrification">{{cite web<br />

==Commuter facilities==<br />
Every day, about 11,000 commuters use the station, including close to 4,000 students, 5,000 officegoers and 2,000 other commuters. Commuters cross the railway tracks from the Hindu College side to reach the suburban platform in the station as there is no foot overbridge. However, in 2005, a foot overbridge was sanctioned and the bridge was constructed in 2008. However, the overbridge was planned in such a way that it will connect only the two suburban platforms leaving out the mainline track, forcing the commuters to cross the railway track.<ref>{{cite news<br />
