‘Udarata Menike’ back on track…
December 20, 2025
Train services on the Badulla–Ambewela section of the Upcountry Railway Line officially resumed this morning (20), following extensive repairs to damage caused by Cyclone Ditwah. Marking the inaugural journey after the restoration, a special Udarata Menike train, operated with a Class S14 power set, departed from Badulla to Ambewela at 8:00 AM today. This is the first time a train has operated on this stretch in 23 days since the onset of the disaster.
