Colombo–KKS intercity express train to operate only four days weekly
Due to a shortage of operational power sets, the Railway Department has decided to
reduce the frequency of the daily Colombo–Kankesanthurai Intercity Express train service to four days a week.
Accordingly, effective from July 10, 2027, the Intercity Express train, which previously departed from Mount Lavinia daily at 5:15 a.m. and Colombo Fort at 5:45 a.m. for Kankesanthurai, and returned from Kankesanthurai to Mount Lavinia at 1:50 p.m., will operate only on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays.
Furthermore, the Yal Devi Express train is also not operating daily at present and is currently running on alternate days.
The Sri Lanka Railway Station Masters’ Association (SLSMA) stated that, under the revised schedule, there will be
no morning train services from Colombo to Jaffna or Kankesanthurai on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
On those days, the
only train departing for Kankesanthurai will be the Night Mail train, which leaves at 8:00 p.m.
Commuters using the Northern Railway Line are
already experiencing significant inconvenience due to the shortage of train services.
