Sagarika Train Derailment

A train derailment has occurred, causing disruption to coastal train services. Track repairs are expected to take two days, and special bus services have been deployed as an alternative.

Only in Sri Lanka can a train derailment turn into a two-day track repair project that feels more like a leisurely home renovation than an urgent transportation fix. At least they're keeping commuters entertained with a masterclass in "flexible" scheduling and complimentary bus tours of the coastal line.
