Green is now VR’s green. VR’s distinctive green color has been registered as a color trademark in Finland for passenger rail services. The registration is a significant recognition of long-term brand-building efforts: Finns associate the color green exceptionally strongly with VR, and now one of the company’s most recognizable brand assets has also received official protection.

On Tuesday 25 August at 10 am, we will publish the tickets for day trains on sale for the time period of 13 Dec 2026 until 14 Feb 2027.

The opening of sales for car spaces on trains to and from Kemijärvi was delayed because the weight limits of the car-carrier wagons used on the route required changes to our sales channels. The necessary updates have now been completed, and we can now open bookings for car spaces.
