The train lines that pass through this station are line A and L. Both lines go to Helsinki Central Station, namely line A: Leppävaara > Helsinki, and on the other hand line L: Kirkkonummi > Helsinki. So it’s actually a very similar route, but line L goes further east through Espoo to Kirkkonummi.
Although only two lines pass through this station, there are still many departures from the station every few minutes. And you can see the scheduled departures in both directions just below. As you can see, during rush hours on weekdays there are usually 4 trains per hour. Note that these are normal and scheduled times, but schedules can always be subject to delays or changes.

Arriving Trains at Pitäjänmäki
If you want to know the next arrival schedules for that railway station, it’s as easy as using any of the following links, which have a table with the times and train line. We recommend using the last one, HSL, as it’s the official link where you’re more likely to find data updated in real time. While on other sites, in our experience, there is sometimes not as much certainty or updated data.
Departing Trains from Pitäjänmäki
Now it’s time to see departures leaving from this station, which can also be found below these links. You can find out when each train leaves from this station. The only thing you need to look carefully at is the platforms and line, so you know the direction and don’t make the mistake of thinking your train is coming soon, when it’s actually a train going in the other direction. So look carefully to avoid confusion, which happens very often if you haven’t used these kinds of sites very much.
Train Tickets
You can buy your ticket through the link below the button. Where you should use HSL’s app or website. The most important thing is to buy the right ticket according to the zones you use. This station is located in zone B. If you only move within the same zone or in a different zone, you need to buy a single ticket for €3.10. Most commonly you go to Helsinki, so it’s an AB ticket. But if you’re going to cross more than one zone, you may need a more expensive ticket, such as an ABC ticket, which costs €4.10.
If you have doubts about the zone system, there is detailed information below for each case. It includes information on children’s discounted ticket prices and season ticket prices for local residents. These are a great saving compared to a single ticket if you travel frequently.

Parking
6 minutes from the station there is a parking area for train passengers, which is free for the first 12 hours. On the other hand, we’ve added a second parking area that is much closer, 2 minutes away, but as far as we’ve been able to see, it’s private and a blue zone. So if there are no changes, parking is limited to 2 hours. However, it’s a good parking area if you’re going to pick someone up from the station and thus be a little closer.
