Upcountry train services will resume full operations to Gampola from October 2, according to Sri Lanka Railways. The resumption marks the restoration of rail connectivity to the central highlands region following recent service interruptions.
Gampola, a key station on the main line serving the upcountry districts, had experienced disrupted services. The resumption of trains to the station will benefit residents and commuters across the region who rely on rail transport to access the highlands.
The reinstatement of services represents an important development for the upcountry rail network, which connects the coastal lowlands to the cooler elevated regions. Regular train services to Gampola are crucial for both passenger travel and freight movement in the area.
Commuters and regular passengers are advised to check with Sri Lanka Railways for updated schedules and any special arrangements that may be in place during the resumption period.
