Most of the long-distance trains between Helsinki and Turku used to stop at Kirkkonummi station until 2016. Nowadays only some few long-distance services make a stop at Kirkkonummi. The station has also three bus departures to Karis, via Ingå on weekdays (Mon-Fri).

  • Track 3 is used only by U- and L-line trains to Helsinki.
gollark: A bunch of places will have to switch. Timezone databases will need updating, as will basically all signs and stuff. A UTC migration would have the same sign-updating things, but no timezone-database issues and much less ambiguity there.
gollark: It still has almost exactly the same problems plus fun new ones.
gollark: We would simply enforce it by updating zoneinfo.
gollark: Having both use the same system isn't great.
gollark: People want time both for vaguely saying things about... availability and their personal schedule I guess... and actually unambiguously defining points in time.
