Finland's new rail link to Sweden has been ready for months — but passenger trains won't run until early 2026.
The electrification cost 37 million euros, of which Finland paid 30 million and Sweden seven million. But further funding is needed to start passenger services, and the Finnish government is yet to make a decision on it.
