So many people have told me Sri Lanka is THE place to go. Thanks for the video, I really see what they mean now
It 💯% is. I loved it and would happily go again!
Damn !! I have been a fan of this channel for months and finally getting to see a video of a train in my country 🤩 Thank you for uploading this. Hope you had a great time in Sri Lanka 🥰🇱🇰
You're welcome, more to come! 😌
Spectacular scenery I have to say. Lovely train ride in Sir Lanka. Including the viaduct. 🤩
It really is! Thank you Andrew 😊
Where is the viaduct?
@@Dodilafir At the start, and in the middle
Trilled to see that you have visited my small island. Thank you and I hope that you had a great time there!🙏🏽
I did!
Viewing luscious green and hilly landscape is awesome. Your commentary is superb and photography is picture perfect.
Thanks Sam 😀
is this a reupload? i'm getting deja vu
Me too, and I couldn’t work out what was so special about that bridge the first time, either.
Yes, but with voice narration. It says so in the description.
Yes, with voiceover and some inaccuracies corrected. This will be the last remake.
I so want to go there i love this place already🎉 even while its English 😊
I went back in time to last Wednesday at about 6:35 PM CEST
There are some gems in Indian Railway routes which are never covered much by international vloggers. The Kashmir Railway, Konkan Route, Shimla toy train, kerela routes, east coast railway route etc are some the most beautiful routes you might experience
Thanks a ton, I've done a few of these but plan to go back and explore more next year 😃✌🏻
Wow beautiful .. And you have done a great job with subtitles ❤
Thanks a lot 😊
❤❤❤welcome sri lankaa ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Super vedeo fantastic view God bless you big salute good job thanks bro
So nice of you 😊
I never knew Sri Lanka had such great train trips. I think you ask for train travel ideas and I've been through your Hungary list, and you don't seem to have travelled on Budapest's Children's Railway. We did so in 2014 I think, tram to the cog train into the Buda hills, then on the railway run by children with the exception of the engine driver. It was marvellous. The train terminates at a tram terminus, so it is easy to get back to Pest.
Glad you enjoyed it! ✌🏻
Great video !!
Thanks!
I will definitely get there after watching this beautiful journey
You should!
Beautiful video love from Sri Lanka
Thank you so much 😊
Also try the two railway viaducts in Sebnitz. Go to Dresden, take the Twindexx/Traxx train to Bad Schandau, then take the Desiro to Sebnitz (7 tunnels and 2 big viaducts), take another Desiro to Pirna, then the Twindexx/Traxx train to Heidenau, and finally take the Desiro to Altenberg (5 tunnels). Eat a Döner there, then go back to Dresden via Heidenau. You can do this in one day easily.
Interesting, thank you!
Very good video! Enjoyed it so much! Greetings from Hungary!
Thank you very much!
Thanks for including Safety Warning!
No worries!
Thank you for coming sri lanka.come again please
😍😍😍
Good Video 👍
잘보고 갑니다.
Thank you!
An impressive journey! 🫶
11:41 You flew Qatar First Class? Nice! Your channel must be doing well. 😃
Great pickup - but we’re not certain that’s his baggage.
At least we know someone went from 100 to 0 rapidly on their journey.
It was my bag, but unfortunately it was my OneWorld status that got me that tag 🙃
@@NonstopEurotrip - nothing unfortunate about that status - something to be very proud of.
Glad you are enjoying the beauty of Sri Lanka. I hope you get to Anuradhapura as well as coming Down Under here to Australia.
@@NonstopEurotrip Ha! Still, handy status to have. 👌
Great trip.
Glad you enjoyed it again 😁
2:22 they use the same penalty fare icon as they do on railways in gb
Ikr 🤣
superb
Thanks 🤗
4:41 people get off at ella cuz the best part is between kandy and ella. Nine arch bridge should be experienced from being on the bridge rather than being on the train😅
I wanted to do both ✌🏻
Bom dia lindo trem bom
Hi friend pls come to keralas kollam district most beutiful journey to kollam town to tenkasi town train journey super view
Will do soon 😃
You should have rode from Kandy to ella to get even more amazing views 😶
I did 😁
Wish you would have shown the actual arches so we could appreciate the engineering of the bridge.
I literally did 🙃
Is this a joint venture with Speralbs? (Hope the Wroclaw trip appears soon...)
Yes, we were travelling together ✌🏻
@@NonstopEurotrip Great video...scenery is spectacular!
Please review train ride from Barcelona to Milan.
Easy, there isn't one 😆
@@NonstopEurotrip Thanks. I found two rail options from Mark Smith (Man in Seat 61) which includes changing trains in Lyon.
Have you done the Semmeringbahn in Austria? I think you may have done. When we did it, we then caught a direct train across the Alps (of course, it was raining!) from Graz to Jenbach (I think it terminated in Innsbruck). It was a very weird train - seemed to have been made up of all sorts of leftover coaches from other consists. Comfortable enough in first class, though! Do you have a video on that line? If not....
Yes I have 😀
czcams.com/video/hD8egONFLNA/video.html
@@NonstopEurotrip Yes, I thought you'd done Semmering - but have you done the direct route from Graz towards Innsbruck, e.g. on IC 518? It takes >5 hours, and the ICs seem to be made up of random leftover coaches - but incredibly comfortable and worth it!
@@AnnabelSmyth No, I haven't done the Transalpin, yet! ✌🏻
@@NonstopEurotrip Hope you will do it sometime; will be interesting to see what you make of it!
try Vietnam railways

“Be careful of health and safety!”
*spends most of trip hanging well outside moving train carriage
😂😂😂
Purely for scientific research 😂
the scene at 0:58 is scary 💀
anyway great trip :D
also why does that train sound like its going to fall apart
Maybe because it is 😂
@@NonstopEurotrip ayo
Awesome video just 1 question what is the top speed of the train on this journey?
Slow 🦥🙃
@@NonstopEurotrip 😂😂
Well in sri lanka you can reach upto 120 kmph in northern line and 100kmph in coastal line. But in this upcountry line the maximum speed allowed is 32 kmph due to tight curves and altitude. So yeah it is very slow as the train will be travelling at around 30 kmph most of the time😅
How does that observation carriage turn round for the return? I don't imagine it reverses all the way back to Ella.
That's a great question 😂
Well they have this locomotive train table at Badulla which is the last station of this route. So before coming back they load the carriage to turn table and turn it over so when the train is coming back passengers will still get the same view. And when going back from colombo to badulla again they turn the carriage. That is how it is done.😂
@@NonstopEurotrip On the way back the observation car is hooked up right behind the locomotive, not much fun and full of diesel fumes. The trip is much better in 2nd or even 3rd class carriages
My friend confirms, there is a turntable at Badulla
@@diggindownunder8051 No you're wrong it doesn't happen that way.
stunning
Thank you! 😊
I did Columbo to Kandy , there was no first class or observation car though. The stations trains and landscape were similar but that 7 arched bridge was spectacular. Yes, the stations are wonderful there, the semafore signals too.
There was something constantly worrying about being in Sri Lanka as If war could break out at any time.
Have you been over the Goteik trestle bridge in north east Burma/Myanmar ? I think you'd like that.
The intonation of your voice is still very slightly unusual at times but that makes the videos unique and a bit different is my conclusion
SL is completely safe now 😊
@@spacedh5275 yes, it was a long time, maybe 18 years since I was there. The damage from the Boxing Day Tsunami was still there on the beaches. Where I stayed (Negombo) , there were terrorist bombs that killed many churchgoers only a few years ago
Thanks so much! I felt completely safe in Sri Lanka and would go again tomorrow, no questions asked. Amazing people, great value and a beautiful place 🙏
Train stations are kept very clean and tidy.😂😂😂😂
Why does every CZcamsr need a merchandise store?
Who?
Dublin belfast
A bit boring 🙃
Moszkva Szentpétervár
No chance!
It's clear this country is still stuck in the early 1900s. Have they even evolved at all on their own? 😅
Yes, some of the newer trains are much better!
Not your fault but the video feed was awful
?
Old junk 😁
🙃🙃
