Galle railway station

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.

The station conforms to the International Style, and uses concrete massing to create a geometric form.

Its minimalist walls and simple, bold forms offer a contrast from the highly ornamented, traditional and colonial architecture that surrounds it.
