Explained in plain English
Why is this train link important?
This new train service is a big deal because it connects northern Finland to the wider European rail network after nearly 40 years. It means people can now travel by train from places like Portugal all the way up to Kolari in Finland, making it much easier for both tourists and locals to explore Europe sustainably.
