Northern Line




Colombo to Kankesanturai deviates from the Main Line at Polgahawela junction - presently operating only up to Thandikulam, track was abandoned from Vavuniya due to war. Reconstruction began in March 2009 to re-extend track up to Kankesanthurai the Northern Line branches northward from the Main Line at Polgahawela , passing Kurunegala, the capital of North western Province, before continuing to the historic cultural and religious center of Anuradhapura, the island's ancient capital around the 4th century B.C.E. and home to many sites of religious and archaeological interest.
