On an average day Egmore station caters to over 2.5 lakh passengers travelling by 38 pairs of express trains and over 100 suburban trains. But the problem is the lack of amenities. Now in the coming months, the station will be spruced up. Soon, the station will get four more escalators, two lifts, four big digital boards, coach information boards and Wi-Fi facility.
Digital announcement boards that display information on trains will also be installed in different parts of the station.
Smaller digital boards will be placed near the ticket counter and passenger waiting area. Coach position information boards will also be installed.
