Yes, significant delays on the Kandy to Ella train are incredibly common and should be fully expected. Because it is a single track system winding through steep mountain passes, trains frequently have to wait at small stations for opposing trains to pass safely. A delay of one to two hours is completely normal. Never plan any tight connecting travel or important bookings on the same afternoon you take this train.

People outside stations offer to "help" buy tickets but charge large markups. They may buy cheap third-class tickets and sell as more expensive classes.
