The TurkuâToijala railway ( Finnish: TurkuâToijala-rata, Swedish: Ă boâToijala-banan) is a 1,524 mm (5 ft) railway in Finland. Running through the regions of Southwest Finland, Kanta-Häme and Pirkanmaa, it connects the junction stations of Turku and Toijala in the southwestânortheast direction. [1] [2]
Around the time of the completion of the Helsinkiâ Hämeenlinna railway â the first of its kind in Finland â planning its extensions towards the south to Turku and north to Tampere became relevant. The northern terminus of the former route was subject to debate; in time, the village of Toijala was chosen as a compromise. The two branches were inaugurated at the same time, on 22 June 1876. [1]
VR Group operates long-distance services with InterCity and Pendolino type rolling stock on the line. All of these services call in Loimaa and Humppila on their route. [3]
