Pallavan , Vaigai express mostly (95%) departs at platform 3 & 4.
Chennai Egmore- Pondicherry express/passenger also mostly(99%) depart from Platform 1.
If u come from east side main entrance no need for FOB u can directly board to 4 th platform, infact platforms 1, 2, 3, 4 all can be accessible without FOB using east entrance.
Platform 1& 2 is easily
...
