Colombo - Palai, Palai - Colombo trains never reach on time.

They spent lot of time in small stations, not for passengers, but waiting for passing trains.

Passengers are getting more tired as it is a long journey. Unnecessary time wasting is not acceptable.

Minister of Transport should be recognised for his efficiency and getting the services back on time by awarding him the National Bullshit award. via DM iPad app
