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.
