Hikkaduwa to Colombo Destination Reviews

FM
At the Hikaduwa station no information in English. Locked door to board the train. Got on the train my seat was taken (26A). No information about the train. All the televisions weren't working. People standing between the seats....had they paid to stay there? No tickets control. Apart from that.... Everything else was fine!!
