On June 21-July 6 and July 16-22 most Z trains only run between Haarajoki and Lahti. During rush hours Kouvola trains run to and from Helsinki, as do the first trains of the morning and the last trains of the evening.

When Z trains are cancelled between Helsinki and Haarajoki, a replacement bus transport will be arranged between Kerava and Haarajoki railway stations (line 979X). Buses run once an hour from the stops connected to the stations. In Kerava, the stop is located in the bus terminal in front of the station. Kerava and Haarajoki stations have signs directing passengers to the replacement bus.

From Kerava to Helsinki the connecting trains are R train and K train to intermediate stations. The timetables are designed so that switching between 979X and R train in Kerava is smooth.
