    Soon. Yesterday I went on it in its' maiden inspection trial run from Ratmalana to Aluthgama and then again back to Colombo. Today it performed a load trial (with Chinese coaches) from Maradana to Veyangoda. Will publish a Youtube video soon of the trial run to Aluthgama, this coming weekend.

        Sri Lankan order may drive RITES

        The stock of RITES may remain in focus, as it bagged a ₹200-crore order. “Under an ongoing contract, Sri Lanka Railways has given an additional export order aggregating to ₹200 crore (approx.) to RITES for supply of passenger coaches,” it said in a notice to the stock exchanges. This is in addition to the earlier order from Sri Lanka Railways for supply of six diesel Multiple Units, the company added. Shareholders will closely monitor further developments on this front.

            Sri Lanka's government has awarded India’s Ircon International Ltd. a contract for 91.3 million US dollars to modernise part of the northern railway line, the state information office said.

            The Cabinet of ministers this week approved the award of the deal on a proposal by Transport and civil aviation minister Arjuna Ranatunga, a statement said.**

            The contract is to rebuild a 128 kilometre long stretch of rail track from Mahawa to Omanthai using funds from an Indian government loan.*

            The project is to rebuild the rail track to make it capable of carrying trains at speeds of 100 kmph and with heavier loads and to ensure efficient, safe and comfortable transport service for passengers and freight.

                Would be nice though to a see a change from those Romanian Astra carriages and Chinese built ones.

                But still Indonesia isn't famous for trains at all...

                                Sri Lanka's first ever electric railway system to be constructed

                                The Department of Railways is to construct Sri Lanka’s first ever elevated Light Rail System powered solely by electricity to travel from Fort Colombo to Malapalla, Kottawa.

                                It will be constructed in the areas along the Kelaniweli tracks.

                                The project which is already approved by the Cabinet is expected to be completed by the end of 2022 and is funded by the Asian Development Bank. The Department’s General Manager confirmed that the dual line system will see a train operate every five minutes.

                                The second phase of this project will be from Kottawa to Padukka and the third will be from Padukka to Avissawella.

                                https://www.newsfirst.lk/2018/12/12/...e-constructed/
                                Have been reading this LRT story for about 2 years now always the same. Construction supposed to start end of the current year but never does.
