Colombo Fort Railway Station

Colombo Fort Railway Station is the historic central railway hub of Sri Lanka, built in 1917 and modeled after Manchester Victoria Station. Serving as the primary terminus for all long-distance express trains across the island, it connects the capital to Kandy, Ella, Galle, Jaffna, and Trincomalee.

As Sri Lanka's busiest passenger terminal (Station Code: FOT), situated in the heart of Colombo along Olcott Mawatha, Colombo Fort manages over 100 daily train services, connecting urban commuter transit across the Western Province with long-distance express passenger services across all nine railway lines.

The terminal features 10 main platforms, dedicated 30-day advance intercity seat reservation counters (Counters 17-20), round-the-clock general ticketing, and cloakroom luggage storage facilities near Platform 1.
