First hill train this morning - still the Ditwah split or did a through service appear overnight
This morning partner wants the Goods Shed board like a through Kandy-Ella train just healed itself overnight. Every briefing we had said Ditwah split, do not invent a consist. I am not packing Ella at 5am regardless. I am asking, this morning, did anything actually reconnect, or is the board still two railways.

No 22 Aug reconnection item on Ada, Newswire, Newsfirst or Mirror this morning. Friday railway news is still online season tickets from September. Treat the working picture as still split. Do not buy a through story from a tout on the platform. I cannot swear this morning's exact first-train consist - we did not photograph the board.
If you must move hill-country, you plan the break, not a miracle. 6:28 PM is still the Saturday in this room.

TukTuk or tour drivers take you to "gem museums" or "government-certified" gem shops. They receive huge commissions (up to 40%) on anything you buy. Prices are inflated 3-10x the actual value.
Men approach tourists near Temple of the Tooth offering to be guides. After the tour, they demand large "donations" or guide fees (5000-10000 LKR).
