Track works to improve the functionality and efficiency of Helsinki railway yard will affect Helsinki Region Transport’s (HSL) commuter train services from June to August 2018. The outermost track pairs in the railway yard will alternately be taken out of service. These track works will affect the departure tracks in Pasila. More detailed information about the changed timetables will be available at a later date via HSL’s Journey Planner (www.reittiopas.fi) and VR’s search function (www.vr.fi).

The Finnish Transport Agency’s project to improve the functionality and efficiency of Helsinki railway yard (HELRA) is part of the more extensive development of the railway network in southern Finland. The project comprises reorganising of the track layout of Helsinki railway yard so that it better meets the needs of the growing traffic volumes. The HELRA project aims to improve the efficiency of Helsinki railway yard and reduce the vulnerability to disruptions. Upon completion, the train capacity between Helsinki and Pasila may be increased from 74 trains to nearly 90 trains per hour. This means an increase of 200 trains per day. The estimated cost for the changed layout of the railway yard is approx. 60 million euro. The construction planning will receive TEN-T financing. The HELRA project will be completed in 2020.
