Die Strecke Colombo - Vavuniya - Jaffna - Kankesanthurai ist damit jetzt komplett.

Jetzt fehlt nur noch die Strecke Madhu Church - Mannar - Thalaimannar



The Yal Devi train, which in October resumed operations to Jaffna, today reached Kankesanthurai (KKS) after a 24 year gap.



Railway General Manager Vijaya Amarathunga said a train from Mount Lavinia to KKS will leave daily at 5.10 am and another train will leave Colombo Fort at 11.50 am daily. In addition train services will be available between Jaffna and KKS as well.



The monthly income of the Railway Department has increased by 50 million rupees following the resumption of the Colombo-Jaffna train service.



The 18 kilometer Jaffna-Kankesanthurai railway line and the novel signaling and telecommunication system were reconstructed by IRON International LTD at a cost of 40 million US dollars under a concessionary credit line of about 800 million US dollars provided by the Indian government for the Northern Railway Reconstruction Project.
