Six new weekend trains had been commissioned on the coastal line with effect from this Saturday (20), the Railway Department said yesterday.

“Several other trains, which were not utilised on the coastal line on Saturdays would also be renewed,” General Manager B.A.P. Ariyarathna said, adding that he made the decision following requests made to him by commuters.
