Thereafter, the commuters would board the Jaffna bound rain and continue their journey, Mr. Seneviratne said.“Those commuters need not buy a separate bus ticket to move between stations but the train tickets issued from the stations would facilitate the service,” he said.

Railway investigation team had been assigned to investigate the cause for the derailment. However, it may take another few more days to restore the damaged railway track, Mr. Seneviratne said.Yesterday, the Colombo-bound Yal Devi express train from Kankesanthurai (KKS) /Jaffna derailed near the Galgamuwa railway station.
