A continuación está la lista de rutas que cubre Sri Lanka Railways y que siempre son muy solicitadas por los viajeros:
Sri Lanka Railways Precios de los Billetes y Clases del Tren
Para aprovechar tu viaje en tren al máximo, selecciona cuidadosamente la clase de tu billete. Ten en cuenta la duración del viaje, los horarios y tus preferencias. Para viajes nocturnos largos, los billetes de primera o segunda clase en un coche-cama pueden ser la mejor solución. Esta solución te permite dormir cómodamente en el tren durante toda la noche y ahorrar tiempo valioso del día en tus vacaciones. Recuerda que, en algunos casos, no se pueden reservar billetes de primera clase para trayectos cortos (de un par de horas) que formen parte de un itinerario largo de tren. Estos suelen estar reservados para los pasajeros que realizan todo el trayecto desde principio a fin. Sin embargo, una litera de segunda clase, que incluso puede ser blanda, es una buena alternativa si tu destino se alcanza en 4 o 5 horas. Revisa lo que está incluido en el precio. Los viajes nocturnos pueden incluir, pero no siempre, la ropa de cama, las toallas, el agua, los refrigerios y los artículos de aseo. Es bueno llevar ropa de abrigo a bordo, en caso de que el aire acondicionado o la calefacción no estén adaptados a tus necesidades.
Viajar en Tren: Ventajas y Desventajas
Las Ventajas de Viajar en Tren
- Viajar en tren es una solución ideal para evitar el tráfico. Si bien pueden ocurrir retrasos por diversos motivos, en general, las horas punta, los fines de semana largos y las temporadas altas no te impedirán llegar a tiempo si viajas en tren.
- Puedes ahorrarte mucho tiempo reservando tus billetes de tren online. Se pueden reservar billetes para muchos destinos hasta 90 días antes de la fecha de viaje, esto te permite planificar con comodidad. También hay ofertas de última hora y no es necesario ir a la estación de tren: reserva fácilmente desde donde quiera que te encuentres.
- En muchos casos, los billetes de tren son más económicos que los de avión. Para determinadas rutas, la duración del viaje en tren de alta velocidad es igual a la de un avión o, incluso, el trayecto completo dura menos, si se tiene en cuenta el tiempo que se pasa en el aeropuerto para el check-in y para los trámites de seguridad y/o aduanas.
- A menudo, las estaciones de tren están situadas en el centro de la ciudad. Esto puede ahorrarte tiempo en el traslado a tu alojamiento. Además, las estaciones de tren más antiguas suelen tener valor y ambiente histórico. Utilizar estas estaciones puede convertirse en una oportunidad para visitar lugares interesantes dentro de tu plan de viaje.
- Una noche en tren, además de dejar libres las horas del día para hacer cosas más interesantes, es una buena forma de reducir tus gastos de hotel. Además, si viajas en coche-cama, dormirás bastante bien. Seguramente mejor que en un autobús-cama.
- Algunas rutas están cubiertas por trenes de lujo, esta es sin duda una experiencia que hay que probar al menos una vez en la vida.
Las Desventajas de Viajar en Tren
- Cuanto mayor sea la distancia, más se alarga el viaje en tren. Si la distancia es bastante considerable, el viaje requerirá demasiado tiempo. Por eso a veces viajar en avión es una mejor opción, aunque sea más costoso.
- La conexión con el medio de transporte que le sigue al tren debe planificarse con sumo cuidado. Aunque los horarios de tren suelen ser fijos, es posible que se produzcan retrasos y cancelaciones por diversos motivos. Otro aspecto a tener en cuenta es la ubicación de la estación de la que sale o llega el tren. En algunas ciudades y localidades hay más de una estación de tren, y esto puede causar confusión.
- Una de las quejas más comunes sobre los trenes que cubren ciertas rutas tienen que ver con la limpieza. Se refieren sobre todo a las clases de tren más baratas y a la limpieza de los baños.
- En algunos de los trayectos de tren, las paradas no siempre se anuncian o se indican claramente. Las pantallas electrónicas resolverían fácilmente este problema, pero no siempre están presentes. Por eso, asegúrate de rastrear tu parada con el GPS o, si puedes, pregunta al conductor.

Was an amazing train ride and 12go made it super easy to get the tickets and requested front glass seats for best viewing.

Tren #1005 Asiento de segunda clase, Sri Lanka Railways, 20 sept. 2022
Overall great experience. Immediately after booking (34 days prior train departure) we received an email with a booking confirmation, however, it took very long until we received the ticket confirmation/voucher (11 days prior train departure). The shipping of tickets went smooth, however, we never received an email confirming the shipment of the tickets as it was mentioned in the ticket confirmation email.
So overall the train ride was superb, just a little bite nerve killing waiting for confirmation or hoping tickets will arrive:)

The views were amazing and the towns charming. I loved that the windows open right up making the cabin comfortable and aerated and great for photo taking.
Booking via 12go website saved us time and effort. The tickets delivered securely to our hotel too. Will definitely use 12go for future trips

Tren #1006 Asiento de primera clase, Sri Lanka Railways, 17 abr. 2022
We got on a train, looked at the onboard electronic display to check that we were on the right train. However, as the train left the station, we realised it was going in the wrong direction and the onboard electronic display was showing the wrong information. The conductor had not come to check on us before the train departure either. Fortunately, there was a train going in the opposite direction at the next station, and we got on board with the conductor's help. We arrived at our destination 3 hours behind schedule.

Tren #1015 Asiento de primera clase, Sri Lanka Railways, 14 abr. 2022
Very expensive way to guarantee a seat. We booked Kandy to Ella train journey on 13th April 2022 (reserving just over 1 month before), reserving for $39.34USD, for two tickets for 2nd class seated. We ticked that if these were not available that we would take an upgrade. We were emailed 1-2days later to say that there were no 2nd class tickets and asked if we would pay the extra of $5.5USD/person, which we accepted and paid
We subsequently came to Sri Lanka and was told by our taxi driver (who is from Kandy), that we grossly overpaid and this was a complete ripoff. He explained that the tickets are only a fraction of the cost and that we should make a complaint about the website. When we checked the tickets on the train, we found that they only cost 2400Sri Lankan rupees which at the time of ordering (mid-March 2022), equalled 8.88USD. This seems to be a hussle that relies on foreigners paying over and above the cost of the ticket for fear of tickets not being available. This was one of the more expensive international websites to use so I would at least encourage people to shop around for cheaper prices
The train journey itself was great. Slightly delayed by 20mins but otherwise well timed, regular snacks and great views. It was busy on most carriages however there were a few free seats (maybe 90% full, this was on Sri Lankan New Year’s Eve as well which I believe is normally a very busy time). I cannot comment on how full 2nd class seated was (I am presuming it was full as per 12Go’s email to us). Our driver did insist that tickets are always available on the day (although I think this is only for non-seated tickets), so it leaves me wondering if I would bother booking again in advance (with a large price markup of over 600%) to guarantee tickets or just take a chance getting tickets on the day…I would certainly at least shop around for other websites anyway

We bought 2nd class seat tickets from 12go. Everything went well, we got our tickets sent to our hotel. Great service! It is very needed cause you can not buy an eticket online, thus unless you have time to buy a ticket before your trip or you have a friend in Sri Lanka, this is the best way to do it. It is expensive though.

An excellent service for train tickets! 12go purchased the tickets in advance and delivered them to the hotel. Upon arrival at check-in the tickets were waiting for us. It made the trip smooth and easy. Many other travels had to wake up early or go to the station the day before whilst we had them in our possession from day 1! I messaged 12go to check the train details and they responded extremely quickly. Could not recommend them enough! Thank you so much

Tren #1016 Asiento de primera clase, Sri Lanka Railways, 15 mar. 2022
The scenery was beautiful as you will have read about. Apart from the Ella rock views when leaving the station you see more of the mountains and tea estates sitting on the right if travelling from Ella to Kandy. This was however a very long slow trip of over six hours to go not much further than 150km. Our seats were at the front of the first class carriage and with one large suitcase jammed between me and the carriage end because it would not fit on the parcel shelf. Moreover each time the door opened at a station the train fumes would come into the carriage. You have to be a romantic to want to do this trip although many younger people seemed to enjoy hanging out of the doors taking selfies. I was only on this train because the one with the observation carriage was not running.
12Go however managed to get me the tickets enabling me to walk through the gate quickly and easily. I also received the money back for the ticket delivery to my hotel because they sent this ticket and another one together.
I would use 12Go again simply for peace of mind and being prepared.

Excellent service .. like clockwork. I ordered 3 sets of tickets and had them delivered to my hotel. I was refused the delivery charge for two sets of tickets as they were out in the same envelope.. very impressive.
Don't bank on definite train times as these can vary from that specified.

I had paid for the tickets to be delivered to my Hotel in Colombo. But when I arrived I discovered there were no tickets. I had to call the office and after several calls from my international mobile phones, they confirmed they had my 2 sets of tickets in the office. They managed to deliver the tickets in time for our train just a couple of hours in advance. This was an anxious period I was was really disappointed with the local supplier performance. I just dont understand why they had not delivered the tickets.
