How many train routes does VR run?

20 of the routes in this atlas are VR services, covering 5,837 km across 1 country (Finland). That is what this atlas draws, not the operator's whole network — a national railway runs thousands of local services no map of notable journeys would list.

What is the fastest VR train?

The InterCity 25, Helsinki to Oulu, at up to 200 km/h. Its fastest scheduled run takes 5 h 24 min over 690 km.

Does VR run night trains?

Yes — 2 sleeper services in this atlas: VR Night Train (Helsinki – Kolari), Santa Claus Express (Helsinki – Rovaniemi).

When was VR founded?

Wikidata records the company's inception as 1995, and files it as a railway company. The oldest railway it runs over in this atlas opened in 1869 — the line and the company are rarely the same age, and this page dates both.
