The Railway Control room says that train services from Negombo to Ja-Ela along the Chilaw route have been suspended until 4.30 p.m. on Sunday.

The train services were suspended as of 9.30 Saturday night.

Accordingly, during this time, train services will only be available from Colombo, Fort to Ja-Ela and Chilaw to Negombo.

The Control Room also stated that the reason for the train services to be suspended was due to construction activities along the Chilaw rail route to convert it to a dual railway line.
