There are several trains between Yangon and Mandalay every day.
In large cities, there is a special ticket counter for tourists selling tourist-priced tickets. In smaller cities it is possible to buy tickets in ordinary class.
The privately run express trains between major tourist spots are very comfortable, air-conditioned and with new, reclining seats. Ordinary trains and coaches looks more like made for animal transport. Delays seem to be the norm.
Do not forget earplugs if you want to sleep during a night ride, since very loud Burmese music can be played.
