The Department of Railways has announced the cancellation of five additional train journeys today (22), including the two night mail trains scheduled to operate between Colombo Fort and Badulla in both directions.
Authorities confirmed that service restrictions on the main line will remain in effect.
Earlier this morning, ten train services between Kandy and Colombo Fort were also cancelled, as operations along this key route remain heavily affected.
Train movement between Kandy and Colombo has been disrupted for several days due to a recent derailment and multiple earth slips reported at various points on the main line.
As a result, the Department further noted that trains on the Colombo Fort–Badulla route will currently operate only between Peradeniya and Badulla, until further notice.
