Need reserved seats toward Ella and later Galle. Is the official Railways reserved seats app still reliable this week, or should we treat station counters as the real backup.

The official reserved booking path still works when stock exists — pay promptly and screenshot the ticket. Counters remain the backup if the app stalls mid-pay.

Hill stretches sell first after festival weekends. Lock Ella-bound seats before you obsess over perfect window sides.

Coastal Galle seats are often easier than highland observation dreams. Still book; do not assume empty coaches on Monday.
