Kandy ella train - worth the hassle with big backpack?
Got a big bag and camera stuff. Is it manageable or should I just do private driver? Hate struggling with luggage on trains.

It's doable but yeah the big bag can be annoying on the scenic train, especially changing or busy stations. Overhead racks are there but space is tight if it's crowded. If your bag is really big, driver might be less stress. Many backpackers do it fine tho, just keep daypack with you and big one on rack.
I tell people with lots of gear to do driver for that route. Train is amazing but luggage situation sucks sometimes. Your call tho.
I did it with 65L backpack last week, it was okay but I had to guard it at stations. Driver is easier if you can afford.
