Best way to book Colombo to Kandy train tickets online right now?
Trying to book for next week but the site keeps glitching. Anyone had luck recently or is it better to go to station?

The official site is buggy sometimes. I usually book through the app or just go to the station a day before. Less headache.
Yeah the website sucks. My guests say going to Fort station is easier, they help you there.
I tried online yesterday, kept saying error. Went to station, got it in 10 mins.
Scam Watch: colombo
Driver claims the meter is broken and quotes an inflated flat rate. Common on arrival at airport or railway stations when tourists are tired and disoriented.
Drivers wearing official-looking uniforms claim to be "government-approved" and charge 3-5x normal rates. They may have fake badges or ID cards.
Women with babies approach asking you to buy milk powder at a nearby shop (not cash). The shop is run by accomplices and charges 5-10x normal price.
