Tickets delivered by email a couple of weeks before the train departure date. Excellent and clear communication. I recommend taking reserved third class tickets because in first and second class they keep their doors closed. However if you are in second class you can always ask some attendant if they can open the door for you to take videos or photos while you are clinging outside. Of course you have to give a tip, 2 or 3 euros are also fine
Super nice experience. Clear instructions and good seating. The tickets were also neatly displayed in the app and email.
Sub contracted company of Viator, in Sri Lanka, has sold us tickets that cost 1.76 eur for 46 usd and for the WRON DIRECTION. When we complained, 1 min after they have sent it, they said they cannot do anything and they are sorry we changed our minds. Lying bunch of crucks.
Don't pass the blame for us when you done the wrong. You have placed 4 first class seats reservation in very last minute and after we have issued the tickets, again you have asked to cancel it and refund. Sti lanka railways don't do it, so we cannot offer you a refund after tickets issued. Check what you buying before when its non refundable. And prices you are giving above are in correct.
Absolute rip-off The train ride is nice, but we were totally ripped off. Instead of 7000 rupies we paid 70€
You are commenting here without knowing the competition to have reserved seats. If you couldn't get it 30 days in advance, you will be standing over few hours with unreserved tickets issuing on the day from railway station's counter. You had a fantastic ride because of this service. Otherwise you will end up with packed compartment with so many people. So what would you suggest? Waiting for last day or have them pre booked to avoid trouble.
You can actually find these tickets for more than 50 per cheaper in the train station only Better not to buy online because they are charging very high price!!!!!

This experience is magical. The train arrived on scheduled time and the ride was pleasant and picturesque. The mini stop at the arches was a super treat. Only issue is that people who are not too tall it’s a bit of a challenge to get back to the train .
You do not travel over the 9 Arches Bridge There is a tourist express train at 0832hrs. Cost 2500rs per person You need your passport or an identity document to book. We purchased a ticket at 0815hrs for the 0830 train. It did not leave until 0850hrs. There is another train at 0930hrs which is a regular train that stops at all stops. The best views are on the right side of the train as you look towards the driving cabin. Second class carriage is fine. It looks like the seats at the front of the carriage face backward and the ones, in the back of the carriage face backwards. The trip takes between 2h30m and 3h. Tuktuks/Cars from Nanu Oya to Nawara Eliya costs 1200-1500rs. A Pickme ride in a car from Nawara Eliya to Ella takes about 1h50m and costs about 8500rs. We would consider taking the return train - a lot more relaxing. Safe travels
After spending £40 for two of us to go into the observation carriage, I was really let down by the staff at the station. They didn't recognise my ticket and only honoured one of the tickets, not two, even though the ticket said 2 adults and the amount I paid. So I had to pay for an additional ticket. The observation carriage did not have A/C as stated, no seats were allocated and generally a let down. The views are spectacular but I thought the whole experience a bit of a let down after our experience at the ticket office.
Really sorry to hear that. We were sent your eTicket well in advance with all necessary guidelines. Seats were assigned in the Observation carriage and as you requested it was front near the large window. Assume you were got into unreserved carriages of the train with the unexpected stress from ticket office. You shouldn't had pay for an another ticket as 2 seats reserved for you as mentioned in your eTicket. We don't know what was happend there exactly. However we do gurantee tthat seats were allocated under given passport number and its a valid ticket issued by railway office. May be you were got into different train mistakenly.
The tickets were well organized and we got connected seats. Tickets were delivered about 3 days before via email.
a great option if you are booking last minute as there are often no more tickets left at the train station We had guaranteed second class seats with windows that open
