For the first time, in the fifty years of its existence, Thirumullavoyal railway station gets swanky-new blue steel shelters for its commuters. From Thirumullavoyal and adjoining areas, it takes train commuters around half-an-hour to reach the Central railway station. On the other hand, for those relying on bus to reach the same destination, it takes nearly two hours. Of the four tracks at the Thirumullavoyal railway station, two are meant for suburban trains. Every day, hundreds of commuters from as far as Arakkonam, Tirutani and Tiruvallur reach the city taking the suburban rail network every day.
