Traveling with

Sri Lanka Railway

  • The first class was clean air conditioned and comfortable. However the toilets were a different story. Toilet seat broken and the water tap broken so no running water to wash. No announcement to let you know when your stop was coming up

  • The train was on time. The facilities are outdated, especially the toilets.

  • On time perfect

  • Lovely ride. Comfortable, on time and clean.

  • On time. It was clean and the AC worked all the way. I traveled from Beliatta to Colombo relaxed.
