How to buy train tickets in Sri Lanka and what is important to know?

Tickets for Sri Lankan trains are sold in paper form at ticket offices. There are also electronic tickets that can be purchased on the official website, but Russian cards are not accepted there. Ticket checks occur when entering the platform and when exiting it, so do not lose your ticket until the end of the trip.

Carriages are not numbered but distinguished by classes indicated on the carriage. To secure a seat, inquire in advance with staff on the platform about where the train will arrive and how the carriages are arranged. Trains are often overcrowded, especially in 2nd and 3rd class.
