Traffic will be almost normal on Friday 16 February

On Friday 16 February, trains will run almost as normal, but there will still be occasional exceptions. Some routes will be operated with reduced frequencies or will be replaced by bus services. We will aim to prioritize changes to quieter departures to ensure the best possible service for winter holiday departures. Night trains, railbuses, and all HSL and VR commuter services will run normally.

Trains running on Friday and their timetables are shown in the trip search. For cancelled or bus-substituted services, you will find information on the  page, which will direct you to the next available departures or buses that accept the original ticket. If you wish to cancel your journey, you can request a refund of the unused ticket price using the compensation form. If these options are not possible, please contact our customer service.

If a service is marked not available, it may be fully booked, but it may also be cancelled. Please check the  page for more info.

We will also reinstate service fees for ticket sales points. The service fees for ticket sales points were temporarily removed due to a system update in 2023. No service fee will be added to tickets purchased from vr.fi or the VR Matkalla app.
