¿Cuáles son las clases de tren y los precios de Sri Lanka Railway?
Dependiendo de la duración de tu viaje, de tus preferencias y de la disponibilidad de los puestos, puedes elegir un billete de primera o segunda clase, un vagón cama para viajes nocturnos o escoger un asiento duro o blando. Ten en cuenta que las clases de billete disponibles dependen tanto de la ruta como de la duración de tu viaje. Por ejemplo, el tren puede tener literas de primera clase, pero no se pueden reservar si se trata de un tramo corto de dos horas. En general, las literas de segunda clase son una buena opción para viajes más largos, y los asientos blandos son recomendables si tu viaje dura menos de 4-5 horas.
Ventajas y Desventajas de los Viajes en Tren
Ventajas de los Viajes en Tren
- La mejor parte de viajar en tren es que no hay que preocuparse por los embotellamientos de tráfico. Ni siquiera en horas pico, fines de semana largos o durante la temporada alta.
- Proceso fácil de reserva online: ya no es necesario ir a la estación de tren, como era el caso hasta hace poco en muchos lugares.
- Normalmente los precios de los billetes de tren son más económicos que los de avión, con la ventaja de que para ciertos itinerarios y destinos el tiempo total de viaje termina siendo casi el mismo
- A pesar de que el viaje en tren es más lento que en avión, las estaciones de ferrocarril se encuentran casi siempre en el centro de la ciudad, lo que te permite ahorrar un montón de tiempo en traslado. Los aeropuertos suelen estar bastante alejados de la ciudad.
- Viajar de noche te permite ahorrar en la habitación de hotel y, además, dormir bien, mientras que en un autobús nocturno, incluso la clase Sleeper resulta un sacrificio.
- En algunas rutas está disponible un servicio de lujo.
Desventajas de los Viajes en Tren
- Para viajes largos, no hay duda que viajar en tren requiere más tiempo que en avión.
- Los trenes generalmente circulan siguiendo sus horarios, sin embargo, también sucede que los horarios cambian y a veces los retrasos son enormes. Así que si estás planeando una conexión de tren con tu vuelo, piénsalo dos veces y verifica cuidadosamente la hora de llegada a la estación de tren.
- En puestos de segunda o tercera clase, a veces la limpieza no es muy buena, incluyendo los baños.
Si el tren hace muchas paradas, a veces es difícil saber cuándo bajarse, ya que las paradas no siempre se anuncian o señalan claramente, a excepción de una pantalla electrónica.

No anuncian las paradas que va haciendo el tren y si no tienes internet en el móvil, no sabes cuando te tienes que bajar, el aire acondicionado estaba demasiado fuerte y hacia frío en los vagones de primera clase y a las personas de una misma reserva deberían sentarlas juntas y si no, dejarles elegir asiento.

El tren, como ya sabíamos, no salió a la hora pero un viaje que se esperaba que fuese de 7 horas se convirtieron en 11. Casi la mitad del viaje fue sin sol, por lo que no pudimos disfrutar de las vistas ni del puente de los 9 arcos. Lo peor de todo, la gran cantidad de cucarachas que había en el tren. Si fuese de nuevo cogería el tren pero haría un trayecto mucho más corto.

It was a nice Experience, as a Backpacker it was Really neccesery to Book The 2nd/ 1st class, cause of the place trouble in the 3rd. But you have to inform yourself, where to wait and enter the Train, so you dont have time trouble to run to the side of the First class

The train broke down and was already late. It's very unfortunate online agencies like yourselves book up all the reserved settled cheaply a month in advance leaving locals and travellers having pay vastly inflated fares to you

Not a comfortable train trip. It’s jumping up and down many times, may be due to poor railway quality.

For first class, l feel what is offered is anything but that, no food provided, no water, the aircon was freezing, the chairs were old & falling apart, the bathroom was absolutely disgusting. I would say for the amount of tourists using and paying for this service they need major improvements.

Tren #1009 Second Class Reserved Seats, Sri Lanka Railway, 18 abr 2023
We bought the ticket from Colombo to Kandy. First we wanted to take the train at 11 am but when I was looking 5 minutes later, the option was gone. So we booked the train at 7 am. So far so good. We got the receipt and I payed via PayPal. The official price was around 3.000 LKR, when I paid with PayPal they booked Singapore Dollars which was way more expensive. In total we payed 15EUR /20 USD… which is not the price that was originally shown.
We received the E-Tickets right away and the rest was totally fine. Next time I would prefer asking the ticket counter instead of booking online as it’s a lot cheaper.

During Booking procedure the insurance option was selected by default. This should be changed! Don’t try to get as much money from your customers, rather be more transparent!

Tren #1596 Tipo de observación, Sri Lanka Railway, 2 feb 2023
Very nice ride in the observation class with plenty of space and plenty of locals! Beware the observation coupe is the last coupé with the big windows at the back, so you'll drive backwards the whole way (I get carsick but with one tablet I was fine when whole train ride, the train is pretty slow making me less nauseaus and making the view even better!)
There is only 4 seats by the actual big window, but the other seats provided a good view as well and you can walk to the window and hang out for a little bit

At the Hikaduwa station no information in English. Locked door to board the train. Got on the train my seat was taken (26A). No information about the train. All the televisions weren't working. People standing between the seats....had they paid to stay there? No tickets control. Apart from that.... Everything else was fine!!

The information provided by 12go is incorrect. Firstly there is no need to get the m ticket changed with physical ticket. And next the official timing of this train is 7:25 am and not 7:15 am. Lastly please reflect transparently fare details and your charges.
