All passenger trains suspended

News

No passenger trains will be operated from tomorrow (May 22) onwards until midnight on May 27 due to the travel restrictions imposed in view of the COVID-19 spread in the country, Sri Lanka Railways said.

Accordingly, whole-day travel restrictions will be in place from Friday, May 21, 11 pm to Tuesday, May 25, 4 am and again from 11 pm on Wednesday, May 25 to 4 am on Friday, May 28.

Effectively it would mean the travel restrictions will continue from Friday this week (21) until next Friday (28) morning, excluding next Tuesday (25) where the restrictions will not be effective from 4 am to 11 pm on that day.

The moves come in the wake of a steady increase in the number of COVID-19 cases.
