Colombo to galle train just left - on time or already delayed?
On it now. Supposed to be express but feels slow already. Anyone know if it's running late today?

That line has been a bit slow this week. Not unusual. Just relax, you'll get there. The coastal views are still good even if late.
Yeah often runs a bit behind. Not a big deal usually. Enjoy the ride.
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.
