It’s always great when public transit is easy and accessible and requires no intervention from staff to get my wheelchair on a train. Helsinki’s train system falls into this category.
The train is perfect for getting from/to the airport to the Helsinki city center. There are two trains, the I train and the P train that make a loop with points at the airport and the main downtown Helsinki train station. You can take either, the only difference is the direction they move — either clockwise or counterclockwise around the loop.
There is no need for a ramp and there is ample space on board and a designated are to park your chair. People were very nice when moving their baby strollers or bikes and in general the Finnish people will be helpful whenever necessary.
The train is inexpensive and fast and I was glad to have used it during my trip. It runs frequently and the stations were level and accessible. You can check out the routes and timetables on the HSL website.
