Galle
Station
is
located
in
the
centre
of
Galle.
It
is
just
northwest
of
the
Galle
International
Cricket
Ground.
Galle's
City
Hall
is
next
to
the
station
and
the
historic
Galle
Fort
is
a
short
distance
from
the
station.
Galle
station
is
designed
as
a
terminus
station.
Thus
trains
have
to
back
out
of
the
station
to
continue
towards
an
onward
destination.
Passengers
enter
the
station
from
the
south
and
trains
approach
from
the
north.
The
station's
terminal
layout
has
posed
some
problems
in
its
operation,
since
all
trains
have
to
change
directions
and
reverse
out
of
the
station
to
continue
on
to
their
destinations.
This
can
cause
long
turn-around
times
and
it
places
the
passengers
in
the
opposite
direction
of
where
they
had
been
facing.
In
2011,
diesel
multiple
units
(DMU)
were
introduced,
as
part
of
a
line
upgrade.
The
DMUs
reduce
turn-around
times
as
locomotives
do
not
need
to
run
around
and
change
ends.
