We want a sleeper berth on the Colombo to Jaffna overnight train, not just a seat. How do we actually book a cabin berth now without guessing classes at the counter.

Use the official railways booking path and pick the sleeper or cabin class explicitly before you pay. Refresh and confirm the berth type on the ticket, not a vague overnight seat.

If the app looks empty, try the station counter with passport details ready. Do not buy a third-party screenshot promise.

Book as soon as dates are firm. Festival-week leftovers make popular overnight berths vanish fast.
