After 38 years: Trains Run Again Between Finland and Sweden in the North
Reported byhighnorthnews-en ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
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.
A change of train is required at the Finnish-Swedish border town of Haparanda.
