Introducing local trains in Finland

Local trains in Finland

Finland is a sparsely populated country of wide-open expanses and dramatic scenery. Probably the best way to take it all in is by the local trains that run memorable routes from capital city Helsinki in the south towards magical Lapland in the far north.

For a true rail adventure in Finland, book an InterRail Finland Pass today. You’ll enjoy the flexibility of unlimited travel on many Finnish trains, plus discounts on extras like ferry crossings, bus rides and museum entry fees.

Useful travel information

Train travel for disabled passengers

When planning your trip, bear in mind that the standard of disabled facilities on trains and at stations around Europe varies. Special equipment can sometimes be reserved in advance. Read up on what to expect in the Destinations & stations and European routes and trains sections of this site.

What about disabled seating?

Some of Europe's more modern trains have special onboard areas for disabled passengers.
To travel in these spaces you'll need to book a ticket in advance. For advice and to book tickets, phone the Rail Europe call centre or visit our London Travel Centre.

Useful travel information

Taking your bike

Almost all European trains allow bikes folded in a bike bag with the saddle, handlebars and wheels removed. And, as long as it's no bigger than a normal suitcase, it'll be covered as part of your luggage allowance. Check our train pages for more information.

If you can't fit your bike into a bike bag, some trains also have bicycle spaces. These must be pre-booked at the same time as you book your passenger ticket.

To make your booking along with a bicycle space, phone the Rail Europe call centre or visit our London Travel Centre.

Useful travel information

Special dietary requirements

There's a choice of meals on the Eurostar for Business Premier and Standard Premier passengers. Special meal requests must be indicated at time of booking. Please note, a minimum of 24 hours’ notice is required for any Vegetarian or Child meals, and 48 hours for all other Dietary requests. You can find out more about the food served on trains in the European routes and trains sections of this site.

For further advice on the above and to book tickets, phone the Rail Europe call centre or visit our London Travel Centre.

Seat reservations for InterRail pass holders

Please note that a reservation alone is NOT VALID FOR TRAVEL unless used alongside a valid InterRail pass.

If you already have a valid InterRail pass, or are planning to buy one, selecting 'Reservation' allows you to pre-book a seat on a specific train.

Why do I need to make a seat reservation when I already have an InterRail pass?
Seat reservations are compulsory on most high speed and overnight trains and are not included in the price of an InterRail pass. Find out more in our Rail Pass Guide.
