Sri Lanka Railways say that trains plying along the Anuradhapura – Omanthai stretch of the Northern Railway Line, are to resume from next month.
Upon completion of the renovation, trains will be able to ply at a speed of 100km per hour within that stretch, they add.
Accordingly, trains along the Northern Railway Line from Colombo – KKS are to resume according to the usual schedule afterwards.
Trains on the Northern railway line faced disruptions after sections were closed earlier this year for renovations done under the Indian line of credit.
