RTI/015 (initiated on 5th January, 2008; complete reply received on 9th January, 2008)

1. Why and on what basis Seydunganallur (2 platforms), Srivaikundam (2 platforms), one of the platforms of Nazareth and one of the platforms of Arumuganeri alone have been sanctioned a Medium Level elevation (even though - like all other stations in the sector - they too are E category stations)??
   
   The stations Seydunganallur, Srivaikundam, Nazareth and Arumuganeri are crossing stations i.e. two line stations with simultaneous reception facilities. Hence, improved passenger ameneties are provided due to operational need.
   
   
2. Why and on what basis Tiruchendur and Arumuganeri stations alone have been sanctioned Platform Shelters (even though - like all other stations in the sector - they too are E category stations)?
   
   Platform shelter is provided in Tiruchendur (it) being a terminal station where more passengers alight. In Arumuganeri station, platform shelter is provided since more goods movement are expected.
   
   
3. Why and on what basis Nazareth, Srivaikundam, Tiruchendur, Arumuganeri stations alone have been sanctioned water coolers (even though - like all other stations in the sector - they too are E category stations)?
   
   Same as reply to 1 and 2
   
   
4. Why and on what basis Seydunganallur and Srivaikundam stations alone have been sanctioned a platform of length of 405 metres (even though - like all other stations in the sector - they too are E category stations)?
   
   In other crossing stations, work is in progress
   
   
5. What will be the height of medium level platforms?
   
   As per schedule of Dimensions (BG), the height of medium level platform is 455 mm above rail level
