So, the coming timetables for the trains from Finland to Haaparanta in Sweden have been published now. On working days two trains per day and direction. On Saturdays ("la") three, on Sundays ("su") three as well. Ol=Oulu, Hpa=Haaparanta.

Leaving 5:08 in the morning from Oulu is humoristic! But expected, as VR wants to prove passengers don't want to use this connection.

In practical terms there's one usable train per week: On Saturday.
(All times are in EET)

@Tuuktuuk @jon Except when you are arriving with the night train from Helsinki at 4:44am in Oulu -- then this isn't so bad. That shouldn't be the main application of that train of course, but personally, I'm not complaining.

That night train stops in Kemi at 5:58, and by all logic this new train will stop in Kemi as well. Allows you to sleep much longer!

@Tuuktuuk @jon Yes, if the night train isn't slower one should sleep longer.
