Replacement buses

Ainola station is closed due to track work between 19th June – 9th December. During this time, there will be a replacement bus connection between Ainola and Järvenpää. We will synchronise the timetables of replacement buses with the timetables of trains departing from Järvenpää, so every commuter train departing from Järvenpää to Riihimäki or Helsinki will have a replacement bus from Ainola and every commuter train stopping in Järvenpää will have a bus to Ainola.
