Several trains operating to and from Chennai Egmore will have changes in their terminal stations between September 4 and October 15 due to ongoing redevelopment work at Chennai Egmore railway station. Some trains will be short-terminated at Tambaram, Mambalam or Chennai Beach instead of reaching Egmore.

The Mannargudi-Chennai Egmore Express, which leaves Mannargudi at 10:50 pm, will terminate at Tambaram instead of Egmore from September 4 to October 13. Its return service will also start from Tambaram between September 5 and October 14, departing at 11:25 pm.

The Mumbai CST-Chennai Egmore Superfast Mail will terminate at Chennai Beach from September 12 to 15. During the same period, the Salem-Chennai Egmore Superfast Express (22154) will terminate at Mambalam instead of Egmore.
There will also be changes to the return service of the Salem-Chennai route. The Chennai Egmore-Salem Superfast Express will originate from Chennai Beach instead of Egmore from September 13 to 16. It will leave Chennai Beach at 11:30 pm and reach Egmore at 11:55 pm before continuing its journey.
Another train affected by the redevelopment work will be the Thanjavur-Chennai Egmore Uzhavan Express. The train will be regulated at Mambalam or Kodambakkam, resulting in delays during the construction period.
