How it was calculated
- Source: the passenger GTFS timetable published by Digitraffic, the open traffic-data service of Fintraffic, under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence.
- Reference week: Tuesday 1 December 2026 (weekday), Saturday 5 December 2026 and Sunday 6 December 2026. Some seasonal trains, such as the ski-season night train to Kolari, do not run that week.
- What counts: direct VR long-distance and regional trains, and Helsinki commuter trains, that stop at both stations in that direction, including night trains. Buses are not included.
- Fastest: the quickest direct train of the weekday. Times change with the timetable: check your date before you travel.
