Luggage Storage

According to our research, we noticed that there are no lockers or place to leave suitcases. And if you’re wondering why. It’s because there aren’t many stations that offer these services. And those that do are usually stations with long-distance connections. So if it’s a station with only short trips and routes or short distances, there won’t be lockers.

This is because they’re generally not needed for same-day return trips. Unlike trains that run for several hours. Now you know when you can expect to find a luggage storage and when you can’t.

No Luggage Lockers: Saunakallio station does not have luggage storage facilities. If you need to store luggage, we recommend using the lockers at Helsinki Central Station or Tampere Railway Station.
