I have been using this since 1984 and out of it, I am hopelessly lost. Any day, I would prefer the train to our bus system. I was in MD when the news of the last run of the meter gauge was in rediffmail. How I wished I was in Chennai at that time to be part of it!! Let them do a real whatever upgrade to a metro-like system...just leave my 'electric trains' alone!!sreesnakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13727472683751083866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2188431352689766747.post-18918703109041184312008-07-29T09:19:00.000+05:302008-07-29T09:19:00.000+05:30The plan to connect Anna nagar by rail was mooted ...The plan to connect Anna nagar by rail was mooted long back . Why they didnt follow it up I dont know. They can connect it to beach via egmore and park. THat will be useful.<BR/>Before an international trade fair was held near the present anna nagar it was a deserted land.

There are some places which can be accessed either by train or bus. A person who wants to go from kodambakkam or mambalam to Central will choose only train travel.There are some destinations which are easier to reach by bus and there are places which have only one form of transport.LVISShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16773797098604812850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2188431352689766747.post-83719374981322997012008-07-27T08:24:00.000+05:302008-07-27T08:24:00.000+05:30Sigh, our train system in the Philippines is so ou...Sigh, our train system in the Philippines is so outmoded too. An upgrading project is currently in the works with a Chinese company but it's controversial because of rumors of corruption — as usual. I just hope it actually gets done AND gets used (our new airport stood unused for several years!).<BR/><BR/>Within Metro Manila, we finally have a pretty decent electric train system. There's just not enough cars — they're always too full — but still, better than none at all, especially with the cost of fuel. Still needs a lot of expansion though.Hildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03572824685124656116noreply@blogger.com
