      @Rismi Fathi: YES! I'm from Germany and my Friends, Sri Lankan Brothers&Sisters, call me "Sister Biggi", because we are Family since 1980.... I lived there like a Local, sometimes Months, but mostly 1 or 2 times a year for ~3-6 weeks! I need it so urgent now, because of private Problems I could not go since some years, and I MISS SRI LANKA SO MUCH, it's necessary to come back for me so soon as possible , I have to "fill my Mind & Soul -Batteries" with Energy! Truely! 😏😢💓👍😍💞

    Wonderful experience. So happy that you guys enjoyed this journey. I am a srilankan living in Australia and big rail fan and last time I took this journey was in 1995 when this scenic route was not so popular.
    Few important points.
    There are 4 trains from Colombo to Badulla operating in this scenic route. The one you took is known as Podi manike which starts its journey from Colombo at 5:55 am. The next train to start from Colombo is Denuwara manike at 6:35am which is an intercity train with fewer stops. Next train to Badulla is Udarata manike departing Colombo at 8:30 am. Last daytime train to Badulla leaves Colombo at 9:45 am.
    All these 4 trains consists of 1st, 2nd and 3rd class compartments. First 3 trains are newer push pull type power sets where as the last one is a locomotive driven one.
    Fastest and most convenient way to reach Badulla is using Denuwara manike intercity express where prices of similar class tickets are slightly higher. It doesn’t go via Kandy as Podi manike or udarata manike and stops at the 3rd platform in peradeniya junction. It’s away from the main station so you need to be aware of that.
    The last train no 1008 has an observation saloon car at the end of the train which is famous for its Panoramic views.

    Spectacular!!! I didn't know Sri Lanaka is this beautiful! I used to travel by train in Ethiopia just like these vloggers do- sitting at the door. Specially in the green fields of Nazareth to Addis, it had been awesome. The new Electric train is shut though. You can't get the windows or the doors open when travelling. But nice technology.

      This is one of the most educated comments I've seen. I'm not sure why they allow leaning and hanging outside the train. In fact, doors should be closed when the train is in motion. Nobody knows what are on the sides of the track. There could be trees, sign poles, truss bridge etc. You could easily hit by an object and cause a tragic incident. As he said even more experienced locals died while trying to hang outside the train. But, thanks for the appreciation of this nice route.

    Wow....very, very well done, Martin! Excellent cinematography, sound and narrative.....so impressively well done as it was a "casual" travel vlog of you and your friends.....yet, it had many of the "technical" elements of a "professional" travel video. It is not easy to keep your camera so still and therefore, enjoyable from a "moving train". Your drone/aerial shots were well done and your editing was "spot on". In short...you are a very good travel vlogger and I look forward to your videos of Spain and Italy, perhaps?L.o.l.
