Infantry Road, Cantonment, Vellore - 632001
Vellore Cantonment is a railway station that serves the city of Vellore, in addition to Katpadi Junction. The station is located on Villupuram - Tirupati line. It is located at the heart of the city on Infantry road (Near Vellore Municipal Corporation).
The station was served by a meter gauge line until the dawn of this millineum. After the gauge conversion drive taken up by Southern Railways, the line has been converted to a broad gauge and after gauge conversion the first train Rameswaram-Tirupati Express passed through this station on April 2011.
Since this railway station is relatively new, not many facilities exist. A light refreshment functions on platform 1.
Bus facilities connecting the other parts of city and Katpadi Junction is available right outside the railway station. Taxis and Auto are other primary modes of transport.
