My arrival will be at Chennai Central railway station on 6th of November, and from there I need to go to Chennai Egmore station. Now I am not from Chennai, so I don't know about the location or the places there, so I need others to help me. I would like to know how far is Chennai Central to Chennai Egmore and how long it would take me for this journey during the day. I would also like to know if I can get an auto from Chennai Central to Chennai Egmore?
