Train from Yangon to Inle Lake (Shwenyaung)

Hi,

Am planning a trip to Myanmar in Feb and would like to cover Yangon, Bagan and Inle Lake over the 9 days. This is my tentative plan:

Yangon --%26gt; Thazi (train)

Thazi --%26gt; Shwenyaung (train)

Shwenyaung --%26gt; Inle Lake (taxi)

Heho --%26gt; Bagan (plane)

Bagan --%26gt; Yangon (plane)

Any one knows if the private Dagon Mann train still runs overnight? The schedules I managed to find on the net states its departure time in Yangon as 1515h and arriving in Thazi at 0235h. However, I also read that the Yangon-Mandalay trains are no longer allowed to run overnight. So is the Dagon Mann train an exception?

If I arrive in Thazi at 2.35am, is it safe to use the waiting room at the station while waiting for the first train to Shwenyaung that comes at 5.00am?

Many thanks in advance!
