Special train between Polgahawela and Peradeniya
This story is no longer in the live feed. First reported .
A new daily rail service connecting Polgahawela and Peradeniya began on October 12, according to the Railway Department. Trains will travel both ways on the route, with the service aimed at school students and other passengers who make regular journeys.
The department said the service was added after trains resumed between Rambukkana and Gampola on the Up-country line. Cyclone Ditwah had disrupted travel on that section, and operations restarted on October 2.
The department said the new service is intended to meet the travel requirements of students and other passengers. Newswire and Sri Lanka Mirror reported that trains on the affected section have been running normally since operations resumed.
Sri Lanka Mirror said a timetable was available but did not provide its details in the report. The other reports supplied no further information about departure times.
