“Espoon asema”, stops E6023 and E6024.

As many of the buses serving the Siltakatu area continue to stops closer to the station, the stop is renamed to avoid this confusion. The stops are currently out of use due to construction works in the area and are therefore not shown in the Journey Planner. The change is based on passenger feedback.

Laajasalo, Kruunuvuorenranta, Yliskylä
Future tram services to Laajasalo will bring significant changes to public transport services in Laajasalo, Merihaka, Korkeasaari and Sompasaari. Entirely new tram stops will be introduced, along with new stop names, for the new services.
To prepare for these changes, the names of bus stops near the new tram stops are changed in advance to match the future tram stop names. This will make transfers between buses and trams easier once the tram services begin and help ensure that stops sharing the same location have consistent names. However, some bus stop names in areas such as central Yliskylä and along the current tram route 13 will remain unchanged.
In addition to Laajasalo, the new tram stop names will also affect certain bus stops in Mustikkamaa and Merihaka. See the sections below for more details on these areas.
-
“Gunillantie”, stops H4317 and H4530.
The new name is “Gunillankallio”. It is derived from the name of a nearby area. “Gunillankallio” is already used as a destination name for bus route 84 and is located close to these stops. It will also be the name of the tram stops at the same location once tram services begin.
-
“Haakoninlahdenkatu”, stops H4695 and H4697.

“Koirasaarentie”, stops H4975, H4977 and H4978.

“Lauri Mikonpojan tie”, stops H4095 and H4096.
The new name is “Reiherintie”. It is derived from the name of a nearby, well-known street in the Laajasalo area.

Highlighting Reiherintie in the stop name will make interchanging easier once tram services to Laajasalo begin. “Reiherintie” will also be the name of the tram stops at the same location once tram services begin.

-
“Viljakuja”, stops H3437 and H3438.

- “Merihaka”, stops H2513 and H2524.
The new name is “Näkinsilta”. It is derived from the name of the nearby overpass. The previous name “Merihaka” will be used in the future for tram stops located in Merihaka.

Only the Swedish stop name changes. The new Swedish name is “Bysansgränden”. The previous name was "Bysantsgränden".

“Viikki”, stops H3034 and H3035.
The new name is “Viikki/Lahdenväylä”. Lahdenväylä has been added to the name, as the stops are located along Lahdenväylä on the edge of the Viikki area.

The new name follows the two-part naming convention already used for similar stops along Itäväylä.
