Second class is the same as first class and the Observation carriage is not worth paying extra for. I bought a fare 2 months prior but the ticket people for reasons best known to themslves, cancelled it for reasons unknown. Dont leave Colombo later than 08:30 or you will miss the last few kms due to darkness.
