Changes to night train traffic between Turku and Rovaniemi

The next scheduled departure of the direct night train from Turku to Rovaniemi is in December 2020.

This is due to track work between Tampere and Seinäjoki. However, passengers can take a day train to Tampere or Helsinki and board a night train to Rovaniemi there. If you want to travel north with your car, you must drive to Helsinki or Tampere and load your car on a car-carrier wagon.
