Planned Rail Disruption in Finland

The Rantarata (“coastal route”) between Turku and Helsinki will be shut down from 24 June to 28 July due to planned track work by the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency. This will leas to disruption to train services between Helsinki and the southwestern cities of Turku, Karjaa and Hanko. Long-distance trains between Helsinki and Turku’s Kupittaa station and commuter trains on southerly Karjaa-Hanko route will be replaced by buses.

Blasting work will also be carried out as part of Espoo Rail Line project. Due to this work, there will be interruptions in commuter train services between Helsinki and the western suburb of Kirkkonummi between May and September. There will be 24-hour breaks each Sunday in May and September, along with three 48-hour breaks over weekends in late August and September.
