by Rajmi Manatunga The Railway Department has resumed services on the Eastern railway line after its sudden disruption a few months back. A spokesman for the Department told the Daily News that the service which operates from Colombo to Valachchenai and Welikanda was resumed after the necessary reconstruction work was completed on the rail tracks. Train operations recommenced early this year on the Eastern railway line which had been long abandoned owing to the war situation in the region. However, several derailments occurring just after the resumption compelled authorities to suspend the service a few months back. "All the deficiencies that prevailed in the rail tracks have been attended to and steps have been taken to ensure that no such incidents will occur in the future," he said. Accordingly, two Batticaloa bound trains will leave Colombo at 6.15 a.m. and 8 p.m. daily while trains will begin services from Batticaloa to Colombo at 5 p.m. and 8.30 a.m. |
