October 27, Colombo (LNW): The Department of Railways has announced that train services between Colombo Fort and Kankasanturai, suspended for months due to essential maintenance and development activities, will resume tomorrow (28).
This marks the completion of a significant modernisation project on the Mahawa-Anuradhapura stretch, enhancing rail connectivity to Sri Lanka’s northern region and providing a faster, more comfortable option for long-distance travel.
This resumed service is part of a larger infrastructure improvement initiative aimed at boosting rail efficiency and convenience.
With the Northern Line now fully operational, the Department of Railways has also urged the public to exercise caution, especially at railway crossings, as increased train frequency is expected on this route.
Strict adherence to crossing regulations will be critical to ensuring the safety of both pedestrians and motorists in areas intersecting with railway lines.
