Can we just show up at the station an hour before departure and get a ticket.

Yes, you can absolutely buy unreserved tickets on the day of travel. You simply go to the ticket counter at the Kandy railway station about an hour before the train departs and ask for a second or third class unreserved ticket.

If you do this, you must push onto the train quickly when it arrives and aggressively look for an empty seat, or resign yourself to standing near the open doors or sitting on your luggage in the aisle.

These tickets never sell out because they do not guarantee a seat. They essentially just guarantee you a spot standing on the train.
