Kolkata, Sep 17 (PTI) Services of the iconic Darjeeling toy train will resume on Thursday after remaining suspended for two days due to landslides caused by heavy rains, an official said.

Following minor landslides on the route, mainly between Tinbatti and Tindharia stations, the services were suspended between New Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling for two days as a precautionary measure, he said.
