Cancellations and delays in Helsinki-area train service are expected to continue all day Thursday because of Monday's train crash at the main Railway Station and difficult weather conditions.
A blizzard is bringing the Finnish capital 5-10 centimetres of new snow and strong winds are causing drifts. Meanwhile the bitterly cold weather continues and the state railways VR says it is unable to warm railyard switches properly because of the snow build-up. Fewer Commuter Rail Departures
All I trains between Helsinki and Tikkurila in Vantaa have been cancelled for the day. K trains between Kerava and the capital are operating as N trains, halting at all stops. N trains are running six times an hour in both directions.
M and A trains are running three times an hour, and E trains between Helsinki and Kauklahti in Espoo are cancelled. G trains between Helsinki and Saunakallio have also been cancelled. U and S trains between Helsinki and Kirkkonummi are operating on their normal schedules.
Long-Haul Delays Possible
An effort is being made to keep to long-haul train timetables, severe cold in the north may affect schedules. During the morning hours, long-haul train were on schedule.
Although the wreckage of Monday's accident has been cleared away and one damaged track will reopen by Thursday, two will remain out of use indefinitely.
