Traveling with

Sri Lanka Railways

  • Smooth onboarding with eticket

  • Good experience

  • We got tickets for the 3rd class, but that was perfect. 2 random seats but easy to change with others. Views were great and locely 3h trip from Nuwara to Ella.

  • It would help foreigners if they were told what the next station is going to be so they know when to prepare to get off.

  • Train was clean and apart from crying child, the journey went well. Railway staff were friendly and helpful

  • All good, the tickets were good, but I should have been told about the train seating layout. We were lucky because several other passengers had been given seats that were not next to each other. 21 & 22 were on opposite sides of the train, 18 & 19 were two aisle seats, so we all sat wherever we wanted!
