О компании Sri Lanka Railways
Поездка на поезде - один из лучших способов посмотреть страну. Неважно, хотите ли вы по старой памяти посидеть в плацкарте за разговорами со случайными попутчиками, или же предпочитаете ультрасовременные и скоростные решения вроде Сапсана, путешествие на поезде позволит вам с комфортом добраться до места назначения, параллельно любуясь видами и получая максимум впечатлений от поездки.
Перед бронированием билетов на поезда Sri Lanka Railways, обязательно проверьте расписание поездов, класс, цену и условия оператора.

Какие классы и цены на поезда у Sri Lanka Railways?
Для ночной поездки вы можете выбрать первый или второй класс в спальном вагоне, в противном случае к вашим услугам “сидячие” вагоны с мягкими или жесткими сиденьями. При выборе класса вагона стоит принимать во внимание как особенности маршрута, так и его продолжительность. В вашем поезде могут быть спальные места первого класса, но вы просто не сможете забронировать их, если ехать вам нужно будет всего пару часов. В целом, места второго класса - оптимальный выбор для более длительных поездок, а мягкие сиденья будут идеальным решением, если поездка займет не более 4-5 часов.
Обращаем внимание, что в странах СНГ применяется иная классификация вагонов. Практически на любом направлении вы можете выбрать один из следующих вариантов:
СВ - двухместное купе, часто имеют персональную душевую и туалет, wi-fi, включены стандартные удобства: спальные места, кондиционер, розетки и т.п.
Купе на 4 человека - оснащены базовыми удобствами: спальные места, кондиционер, розетки и т.п.
Плацкарт - купе открытого типа, вагон “общий” на всех пассажиров. Спальные места и розетки имеются, а вот кондиционер может работать значительно хуже, т.к. работает централизованно на весь вагон.
На некоторых поездах могут встречаться “сидячие” купе или вагоны открытого типа, а также люкс-вагоны повышенной комфортности.
Выбирать тот или иной класс стоит, прежде всего, в зависимости от продолжительности поездки. Если путь займет несколько часов, то целесообразно будет сэкономить и провести это время в плацкарте или в вагоне с местами для сидения. Более же длительные поездки, наоборот, рекомендуется осуществлять в более приватных и комфортабельных купе с лежачими местами.
Плюсы и минусы поездки на поезде
Плюсы:
- Пробки! Точнее, их полное отсутствие. В час пик, в выходные, в самый горячий сезон - на ж/д направлениях пробок не бывает никогда
- Простой и понятный процесс онлайн-бронирования. Еще не так давно, для покупки билетов было необходимо лично ехать на вокзал. Теперь же, купить билет на поезд можно в несколько кликов мышью.
- Поезда - это относительно дешево. Стоимость билетов на поезд в большинстве случаев значительно ниже в сравнении с авиабилетами. При этом, для некоторых направлений время в пути может быть почти одинаковым.
- Хотя ж/д транспорт, безусловно, медленнее авиационного, ж/д вокзалы часто расположены в черте (а то и в самом центре) города, что дополнительно экономит время на дорогу, в то время как аэропорты почти всегда находятся далеко за городом.
- На некоторых направлениях доступны услуги класса люкс, такие как купе с душем и туалетом или бар.
Минусы:
- На большинстве направлений (особенно это касается поездов дальнего следования) поездка на поезде все же занимает больше времени, чем авиаперелет.
- Хоть поезда в целом и ходят по расписанию, опоздания все же иногда случаются и это надо учитывать. В редких случаях, задержки могут растягиваться на часы. Обязательно помните об этом, когда составляете маршрут путешествия - если вы планируете пересадку на самолет, то билет на поезд лучше забронировать с хорошим запасом по времени.
- Слабое место практически всех поездов - чистота туалетов.
- Поезд может делать много остановок на коротком отрезке пути, а остановки далеко не всегда объявляются, что может легко внести путаницу. Также, нужно быть готовым к тому, что ваша остановка будет посреди ночи, а поезд простоит на станции всего несколько минут.

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.

We bought multiple train tickets and had it all delivered to the hotel at once. However, we paid the USD10 delivery for each individual ticket.

Поезд #1015 1-й класс сидячий, Sri Lanka Railways, 14 апр. 2022 г.
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.

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.

We were provided with the wrong time of train which affected our plans. I requested that we sit on one side of the train but this did not happen.
