THE Philippine National Railways (PNR) has announced the resumption of train service on the over 100-kilometer Naga-Legazpi route in the Bicol Region starting February 26, 2026.
In a social media post, the PNR confirmed that the route will be operational for passengers, with the first trip from Legazpi departing at 4:49 a.m. and the return trip from Naga at 5:30 p.m.
Fares for the route will range from P15 to P155, with discounts available for senior citizens, students, and persons with disabilities upon presentation of valid IDs.
The Naga-Legazpi route will pass through the stations of Naga, Pili, Baao, Iriga, Lourdes, Bato, Matacon, Polangui, Oas, Ligao, Traveria, Daraga, Bagtang, Washington Drive, Capantawan, and Legazpi.
The PNR reopened the Naga-Legazpi route on December 27, 2023, six years after it was suspended due to a shortage of trains and locomotives. However, operations were halted again on November 7, 2024, after train sets and tracks were damaged by Tropical Storm Kristine.
Following repairs and rehabilitation, train operations will resume in February.
