Sri Lanka Railways announced that the obstructions along the up-country railway line have now been fully cleared, restoring the tracks to a condition suitable for train operations.
Accordingly, the Colombo Fort–Badulla night mail train (departing Colombo Fort at 8:30 p.m.) and the Badulla–Colombo Fort night mail train (departing Badulla at 6:30 p.m.) operated as scheduled yesterday (21).
However, Train No. 1007 from Colombo Fort to Badulla (9:45 a.m.) and Train No. 1008 from Badulla to Colombo Fort (10:20 a.m.) will be cancelled today (22). All other services on the up-country line will run as normal.
The night mail services had been suspended on November 19 and 20 due to ongoing repairs and clearance work following a rockfall and earth slip between Ohiya and Idalgashinna.
Train operations were disrupted earlier due to a derailment caused by fallen trees and a landslide along the stretch between the Idalgashinna and Ohiya railway stations.
