Wellawatte to Jaffna Train Station Destination Reviews

Manon L

The meeting point was very difficult to find, and I almost missed the bus. Fortunately, the person on the phone guided me. The driver was driving very fast, and we arrived at 4:00 am instead of 9:00 am in an unknown city...

Train shakes too much. Difficult to walk down the aisle when it is running. It was was also running late by 90 minutes.
