We're trying to decide if we should take a train or hire a driver to travel from Jaffna to Anuradhapura. Approximately how long does the train take verses the drive? Thanks.

If you can't find timetable on line, try themaninseat61 website. He has loads of info on trains and includes timetables.

I reckon a car would average about 60 km per hour on a trip like that.

I suspect the train will leave very early, which may be a deciding factor.
