Read about frequently asked questions
My train is delayed
On the long-distance trains, the conductor will announce on the train how to proceed with the transfer connections. The conductor is there to help you and you can always ask them for more information. We also provide information about transfer connections on this page.
If you are travelling on a commuter train and there isn't a conductor, you can call our customer care (0100 3232 (0,06 €/min 0,06 €/min + lnc/mcc, Mon-Fri 5 am – 10 pm and Sat-Sun 7 am - 10 pm)).
If your train is late and the connection cannot wait, you can take the next train to your destination. Your original ticket will be valid. If you wish, you can contact our customer service by phone to get a free train ticket with own seat for the next train.
If the next train connection is not available, your connection can also be arranged on a case-by-case basis by bus or taxi, in which case you will receive more information from the conductor.
You can claim compensation if your long-distance train is delayed at least 60 minutes compared to the arrival time on your ticket.
If the train is at least one hour late, we will refund 25% of the ticket price, and if the train is at least two hours late, we will refund you 50% of the ticket price. The compensated amounts are based on the EU regulation on rail passengers’ rights and obligations.

You can find the train running information on the Radalla page. Check also our VR Matkalla app for up-to-date train journey data.
We do our best every day to ensure that our trains run on schedule and passengers reach their destinations on schedule.
The punctuality of a train is affected by, for example, other trains, rail infrastructure (Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency) as well as rolling stock and weather conditions. Train delays are constantly analysed and repeated defects are eliminated.

If you have a long-distance traffic ticket, you can travel to your destination with your original ticket on the next train. If you wish, you can contact our customer service by telephone to receive a free train ticket with a seat for the next long-distance train.
If you have a commuter train ticket, you can take the next commuter train to your destination and your original ticket will be valid.

If your train service has been cancelled, you can:
1. Apply for a refund of the ticket price for a journey not made and for a potential return journey
2. Continue your journey as soon as possible with similar conditions after we have re-routed you
3. You can change your ticket's departure date and time at no extra cost. The same travel terms and conditions will apply to the new journey as to the original journey.

Please note that the travel time of the bus is longer than that of the train.

Alternatively, we can arrange a taxi transfer for you. Please note that getting a taxi with a safety seat may take time. If you want a taxi transfer, please contact the conductor or our customer service: Tel. 0100 3232 (cost 0,06 €/min + lnc/mcc), queuing is charged.
