AI-generated editorial illustration for Sri Express.
Train services between Badulla and Nanu Oya were scheduled to resume on 20 June after restoration of the damaged Ambewela–Nanu Oya section.
An announcement on 19 June said services, which had been operating as far as Ambewela, would extend to Nanu Oya once the repaired track reopened.
The Railways Department said the route would offer first-class air-conditioned accommodation and reserved second-class seats. Reservations were available through its official booking system and stations providing that service.
Passengers whose existing reservations named Ambewela were told they could begin or end the relevant journey at Nanu Oya after reopening. The notice concerned those June arrangements; passengers planning a new journey need the current railway timetable.
