Track work will cause changes in train traffic between Helsinki and Turku starting from August 2022. The railway line between the Kupittaa and Turku railway stations will be shut off, which is why the terminus of the trains from Helsinki destined for Turku is Kupittaa. During the railway line interruption, train tickets between Helsinki and Turku will only be sold for travel to the Kupittaa station. If your trip search (e.g. Salo–Turku) does not show results, try switching your search so that the terminus is Kupittaa instead of Turku.

For trains arriving and departing from Tampere, the Turku station is in normal use.

The duration of the track work on the Kupittaa–Turku railway section is estimated to be two years.

The railway line interruption mainly causes changes to the multi-tickets between Turku and Helsinki. No changes will be made in the multi-tickets between Turku and Tampere. If you have a valid multi-ticket between Turku and Salo/Helsinki, you can use it normally before the start of the railway line interruption in August.

When the railway line interruption starts, the use of the multi-ticket will change: the terminus for the trains from Helsinki to Turku will be Kupittaa, instead of Turku. This will have an impact on the available train connections and the booking of journeys with the multi-ticket.

If you have bought your multi-ticket through vr.fi or the VR Matkalla app, you can edit the route of your ticket when you book individual journeys with your multi-ticket. Once the railway line interruption has started, your ticket will be valid for journeys from Kupittaa to Helsinki and from Helsinki to Kupittaa.

Instructions

1. Log in to your account at vr.fi or in the VR Matkalla app and proceed from the Tickets/My Tickets section to book a journey in the same way as you would normally do when booking a journey with your multi-ticket.
   
2. In the search field that shows the route on your ticket, click Turku. In the drop-down menu, replace Turku with Kupittaa. In the VR Matkalla app, click “Done” below.
   
3. Once the station has been changed, all train services between Kupittaa and the other station of your route will be listed in the search results and you can choose the service that suits you best.
   

If you have bought your multi-ticket through another sales channel or you cannot use your multi-ticket once the railway line interruption has started, please contact our customer service.

The railway line interruption mainly causes changes to the season tickets between Turku and Helsinki. No changes will be made in the season ticket between Turku and Tampere. If you have a valid season ticket between Turku and Salo/Helsinki, you can use it normally before the start of the railway line interruption in August.

When the railway line interruption starts, the use of the season ticket will change: the terminus for the trains from Helsinki to Turku will be Kupittaa, instead of Turku. This will have an impact on the available train connections and the seat reservation with the season ticket.

You can edit the route of your ticket in the VR Matkalla app when booking a seat with your season ticket. Once the railway line interruption has started, your ticket will be valid for journeys from Kupittaa to Helsinki and from Helsinki to Kupittaa.
