HSL is providing replacement bus services between Siuntio station and the Kirkkonummi Travel Center.

 

The Journey Planner shows the reduced service of A and K trains and Y and D trains are removed from the search results.  

Heavy snowfall also causes major problems to road traffic

Bus journey times are expected to increase and traffic jams are expected. Diversions are expected in some sections of road and in some places roads can be closed to bus traffic for safety reasons.

Snow piling on tracks can cause delays to tram services.

On Thursday, passengers are advised to allow extra time for their journeys. Please leave in good time, if possible, take an earlier bus, tram or train than usual. Telecommuting is a good option, if possible
