Though SER did not cite the reasons behind reverting to Howrah station, sources said the authorities have been receiving complaints of inconvenience, especially from elderly passengers and patients, who travel by Coromandel Express to Chennai for treatment. They face difficulties in boarding the trains to southern India from Shalimar due to transport hurdles. The satellite station is being developed in phases but lags behind as far as the availability of cabs is concerned.
