Leppävaara railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leppävaara railway station (Finnish Leppävaaran asema; Swedish Alberga station) is a station on the VR commuter rail network located in Leppävaara, a district of the city of Espoo in Finland. It is situated between stations Mäkkylä railway station and Kilo railway station. It is located about eleven kilometres to the northwest/west of Helsinki Central railway station.
[edit] History
The Leppävaara stop was built in 1903 and the previous station building was built in 1907. The greatest change occurred in autumn 1999 when the station building was torn down to build a new railroad track in Leppävaara and a new terminal. The new terminal is partly founded on artificial ice.
The Sello shopping centre has brought more traffic to the station, the latter part having been completed in autumn 2005. The shopping centre is located right next to the Leppävaara station.
[edit] Connections
All local trains to Karjaa, Kirkkonummi and Espoon keskus stop at Leppävaara. The construction of the new track caused part of the train schedules and stops to be rearranged, and introduced the A train, stopping at all stations.
