Chennai Central Loses Chance to Be Longest Railway Station Name By a Single Letter

With a single character, or lack thereof, Puratchi Thalaivar Dr. M.G. Ramachandran Central Railway Station in Tamil Nadu, missed the chance of having the longest railway station name


Puratchi Thalaivar Dr. M.G. Ramachandran Central Railway Station, known as 'Chennai Central' to most people, located in Periyamet which was renamed after actor-turned-politician Dr. M.G. Ramachandran on April 5, 2019, maybe Indian's longest railway station name, but falls short of the world record.


The record for the longest railway station name, which is 58 letters long, is held by ‘Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch’ in Wales.

Chennai's Puratchi Thalaivar Dr. M.G. Ramachandran Central Railway Station, with its 57-character count, lost this by just a letter.
