📋 Tender Overview
The thunderstorm has caused an electricity failure on the main train track which has resulted in the interruption of train traffic between Tampere and Parkano on Thursday July 31 2025. The fault affects several train shifts and the breakdown is estimated to last overnight.
According to the repair estimate issued by Fintraffic Oy traffic will continue on Friday morning by 5.30.
So far trains will be replaced by buses at present according to Friday morning between Tampere and Parkano. However there are so far challenges in the availability of buses due to big events. Customers have the opportunity to arrange independent transportation and apply for the costs incurred at vr.fi/prements.
Night trains are waiting for the track to open and they will be driven to their destinations as soon as possible. We strive to contact the night train as soon as possible and provide them with up -to -date information on travel changes. You can follow your own train at vr.fi/rad.
We are watching Fintraffics updates on the track and updating the snapshot as soon as we get more information. If the repairs are delayed the impact may also be on Friday morning train shifts. We will inform customers as soon as possible about changes.
Thunderstorms may also cause disturbances on other sections of the track so passengers are advised to follow the situation in the VR Travel application and the website on vr.fi/rad.
VR apologizes for the inconvenience caused by the disturbance and does everything in the power so that our customers journey is as well as possible in exceptional circumstances.
