Chepauk is a station on the Chennai MRTS railway line.[1] It is located in the eastern Chennai neighbourhood of Chepauk near the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium. The station is built on the bank of Buckingham Canal.[1] The station was opened in November 1995 as a part of the first phase, when services were operated from Chennai Beach station to Chepauk.[2] As it is adjacent to the government offices in the area, such as Kuralagam and Doordarshan, the station sees many commuters who work in these offices.[3]
