The ’Tikiri Menike’ train, which travels to Nanu Oya via Kandy from Colombo, was derailed between Talawakelle and Watagoda last night, crippling upcountry train services.

As a result, the Udarata Menike express train scheduled to depart for Badulla via Kandy from Colombo at 3:30 a.m. was limited to the Hatton train station.

The department also announced the cancellation of the express train scheduled to leave for Badulla from Colombo. Consequently, the train is now rescheduled to depart for Badulla at 9:45 a.m.

What the hell is happening. All the Menikes are derailing. Something fishy about this. Since 1948 the only people who got developed in Sri Lanka are the politicians.

It’s high time we get involved the Indian railways. At least let us have an Indian commission to advise about our railways. This can’t go on daily.

Gotta love Sri Lankan railway engineers. The only thing they can do with flying colours is passing exams.
