Exceptional arrangements as due to track work

A number of track work projects are carried out on the network. Hence exceptional arrangements in the services have to be implemented, e.g. buses replacing rail services and cancellations of trains.

Please check the track work projects on the different routes on this page or in VR Journey Search or call VR Customer Care, phone 0600 41 902 (€1/answered call + Inc.)
