Sri Lanka Railways Prezzi dei Biglietti e Classi dei Treni
Per sfruttare al meglio il viaggio in treno, scegli con cura la classe di viaggio del biglietto. Considera la durata del viaggio, gli orari e le tue preferenze. Per lunghi viaggi notturni, i biglietti di prima o seconda classe in una carrozza letti sono forse la soluzione migliore. Questa soluzione ti consente di dormire tutta la notte sul treno, anche comodamente, e di guadagnare il tempo utile della giornata di vacanza. Ricordati che, in alcuni casi, non è possibile prenotare biglietti di prima classe per viaggi brevi (di circa un paio d'ore) che fanno parte di un lungo tragitto ferroviario. Di solito questi posti vengono riservati per i passeggeri che completano l'intero tragitto dall'inizio alla fine. Tuttavia, una cuccetta in seconda classe, che può anche essere morbida, è una buona alternativa se la destinazione è raggiungibile in 4 o 5 ore. Controlla quali servizi sono compresi nel prezzo. I viaggi notturni di solito (non sempre) includono lenzuola, asciugamani, acqua, snack e articoli da toilette. È sempre bene portare a bordo qualche indumento caldo, nel caso in cui l'aria condizionata o il riscaldamento non siano adatti alle tue esigenze.
Viaggiare in Treno: Vantaggi e Svantaggi
I Vantaggi del Viaggio in Treno
- Viaggiare in treno è una soluzione ideale per evitare il traffico. Anche se a volte si verificano ritardi per diversi motivi, in genere le ore di punta, i fine settimana lunghi e la stagione alta non sono motivi che ti impediranno di arrivare in orario se viaggi in treno.
- Se prenoti i biglietti del treno online potrai guadagnare tempo. È possibile prenotare biglietti per varie destinazioni anche fino a 90 giorni in anticipo, questo ti consente di pianificare con comodo. Sono disponibili anche offerte last-minute e non bisogna recarsi alla stazione di treno: puoi prenotare facilmente ovunque ti trovi.
- A volte, i biglietti di treno costano meno dei biglietti di aereo. Per alcune tratte, la durata del viaggio in treno ad alta velocità è uguale a quella dell'aereo o addirittura l'intero tragitto dura di meno, se si considera il tempo che si trascorre in aeroporto per il check-in e per le procedure doganali e/o di sicurezza.
- Di solito, le stazioni di treno si trovano nel centro della città. Questo ti può risparmiare tempo per raggiungere l'alloggio. Inoltre, le stazioni ferroviarie più antiche spesso hanno valore storico e una bella atmosfera, e possono diventare dei luoghi interessanti da vedere nel tuo programma di viaggio.
- Una notte in treno, oltre a liberare le ore diurne per fare cose più interessanti, è anche un modo per ridurre i costi dell'hotel. Inoltre, se viaggi in vagone letto, dormirai abbastanza bene. Sicuramente meglio che in un autobus notturno.
- Alcuni itinerari sono serviti da treni di lusso, un'esperienza da non perdere.
Svantaggi del Viaggio in Treno
- Più lunga è la distanza, più si allunga il viaggio in treno. Quando la distanza è notevole, il viaggio richiede troppo tempo. Ecco perché a volte viaggiare in aereo è l'opzione ideale, anche se è più costosa.
- I collegamenti con il mezzo di trasporto successivo al treno devono essere pianificati con attenzione. Sebbene gli orari dei treni sono solitamente prestabiliti, possono verificarsi ritardi e cancellazioni per svariati motivi. Un altro aspetto da considerare è la posizione della stazione da cui parte o arriva il treno. In alcune città e paesi c'è più di una stazione ferroviaria e questo può creare confusione.
- Una delle critiche più frequenti sui treni in alcune tratte riguarda la pulizia. Si tratta soprattutto delle classi di treni più economiche e dei servizi igienici.
- In alcuni dei percorsi ferroviari, talvolta le fermate non sono annunciate o indicate chiaramente. I display elettronici sarebbero una soluzione semplice per questo problema, ma i dispositivi non sono sempre presenti. Controlla quindi la tua fermata con il GPS o, se puoi, chiedi al controllore.

Great service. It is worth to pay for priority support. The train ride from Kandy to Nanu Oya was an amazing experience. The train was late but that did not matter as this gave us more time to enjoy the landscape.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
