Train from Colombo to Galle

I travelled from Colombo to Galle by train. It is good when the train leaves on time, because the journey by bus is not enjoyable. There is no first class option, but the second class is fine and there are fans, and long windows, and also comfortable leather armchairs. I do not remember how much the ticket cost, but I think it was something like 1.50 euros for four hours by train! There are 100 miles or so, but it takes less time than the bus does, the two modes of transport are equally slow. In Galle station there are many false guides ve try to take you in his tuk tuk to a hotel (where they charge commission).
