    I have attached photos of Gampola trains time table. Bus stand and town is just outside station. Taxi available outside for Ambuluwawa tourist. I used Uber in Gampola town. Checkout old flood levels from 1903 marked on a wall. Also see separate 20 foot pole marking higest flood in 1947. The station is nice and clean. Toilets and waiting room with good seats available. Easy to get into train because of new raised platform and wheelchair access ramp.

    Gampola Railway Station is a charming and historic station located in the heart of Sri Lanka's hill country. It is a popular stop for tourists and locals alike, and offers a unique glimpse into the country's rich railway heritage. The station was built in 1878 by the British, and it has been beautifully preserved over the years. It is a classic example of colonial architecture, with its red brick walls, arched windows, and sloping roof. Inside the station, you'll find a bustling atmosphere, with passengers coming and going from all corners of the country. There are several platforms, as well as a waiting room, ticket counter, and snack bar. One of the best things about Gampola Railway Station is its location.

    The service is not quick as in kandy railway station but on behalf of waiting to buy tickets standing all the other facilities are quite good,the staff is helpful, the railways are clean but i'm not sure how clean the toilets are because i have never went in. I think they might be clean because the railway station is overall clean and safe place.
