What backs it

On 10 August 2026, passenger rail service reopened between Oulu, Finland and Haparanda, Sweden, more than three decades after the last train crossed the border in 1992. Two daily departures now operate in each direction on the one-hour-40-minute route, with the line fully electrified from Helsinki to Haparanda.

Worth noting

A change of train is required at the Finnish-Swedish border town of Haparanda.
