Although a government run business , it seem helpful during peak season ( November , December ) .As my experienced on last year , all flights booking are full status for all domestic private airlines.

Use diesel locomotive , slow ,later than expects , but this timetable will help for the free and budget travelers during high tourists season ,without booking , tourists get priority seats.

Did the MANDALAY - MYITKYINA ride in a sleeper and loved it.

Also did the trainride from Naba - Mandalay in a soft seat about 10 hours

and it´s was ok!

So it depends???
