Car Train in Finland

[TimBath]

Anyone been on the car train north from Helsinki. Any problems loading? I’m lowered a bit but ok on channel tunnel and ferries. Cheers

I've seen it but never been on it. From my recollection the lower deck is pretty much a level load but the upper deck is a bit more of a steep ramp.

I think this is Helsinki end:

This was the loading dock I saw in Tampere





I think we have a few Finnish members kicking about who may know more, perhaps @n10n ?

I haven’t used them personally. Was kind of about to this summer but life got in the way.

But this is a link for loading instructions, vehicle dimensions etc: Loading a car or a motorcycle onto the train

I have great memories of traveling through Finland and Sweden with the day job in the years before the world went a bit odd.

I'd always intended to take the family and as I didn't want to take the Young Uns flying was planning a big rail tour to do Eurotunnel, the Danish boat train and several sleepers. Sadly The Bug happened just in the window of opportunity but still want to do something similar at some point. I think also the boat train has now stopped running.

Good luck on your trip @TimBath , please post a few bits of travelog here if you can

We’re hoping to get to Tromso at the end of June. Thanks to you both.

Tromso is a brilliant place. We loved it.
