Chennai Metro Services Return to Regular Timetable After Vijay Antony Concert Cancellation
In a recent update, Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) announced that metro services in the city will resume their regular timetable on Saturday, following the cancellation of the much-anticipated Vijay Antony concert. Initially, CMRL had extended its services to accommodate concert-goers heading to Meenambakkam metro station, with trains expected to run until midnight.
Concert Cancellation and Rescheduling
Popular Tamil musician Vijay Antony was scheduled to perform at the AM Jain College Grounds in Meenambakkam on Saturday evening. The cancellation of the event came just hours before it was set to begin, leaving many fans disappointed. While the concert will be rescheduled for a later date, no specific details have been made available on ticket booking platforms as of yet.
Metro Services Update
In a statement on X, the official Chennai Metro handle clarified, “Attendees who have sponsored Metro Travel tickets for the show will not be able to avail today. Metro train service will be available as per regular timetable schedule only.” This means that those who had booked digital metro passes for the concert will not be able to use them for travel on the original date.
Previous Arrangements for Concert Attendees
Prior to the cancellation, CMRL had collaborated with event organizers, Noise and Grains Private Limited, to facilitate easy travel for concert attendees. This included offering exclusive digital metro passes for round-trip journeys from their nearest stations to Meenambakkam. The last train was initially scheduled to depart at midnight to help accommodate late-night travelers.
Looking Ahead
As fans eagerly await news of the rescheduled concert, it remains unclear whether CMRL will extend metro services again once a new date and venue are announced.
