Colombo Fort is the biggest railway station in Sri Lanka, which becomes extremely busy at around lunchtime when large amounts of school kids are seeking a ride home.
Especially the 2 p.m. train to Matara is always totally packed while the early morning train is always empty and a wonderful experience when riding along the lovely coast with all the beaches.
Watch two "Common Sense Videos" with shots from train rides in Southern Sri Lanka and in Colombo.
Some lucky passengers are able to grab a roti and an extremely sweet Nescafe during a stop at Colombo Fort.
