Switch failure disrupts metro service in Helsinki

The Metro service between Siilitie and Kulosaari remained suspended on Wednesday morning due to a switch failure, said the City of Helsinki in a press release, quoting the Helsinki Regional Transport Authority (Helsingin seudun liikenne – HSL).

On other sections of line services were running at irregular headways throughout the morning.

Bus services 500, 510, 550 and 560 were used to travel to train stations.

The problem, however, was fixed and normalcy restored in the metro services between Siilitie and Kulosaari, the press release added.
