		On Monday, got to travel by the Chennai MRTS upto Chengleput and returned by the Broad Guage that terminates upto the Beach.
		MRTS doesn't reach to Chengalpattu - it is just plain ol' suburban electric you had travelled by - even if the same rake goes.
		And yes, the value systems, hygene and sanitation-awareness of aam janatha being what it is, it is a herculian task to keep the trains and stations to a reasonable level of cleanliness.
