tilausjunat

Tilausjunat, often translated as charter trains, are railway services that are specifically arranged and hired for a particular group or purpose, rather than being part of a regular scheduled timetable. These trains are typically booked in advance by organizations, companies, sports teams, tour operators, or private groups for events such as weddings, conferences, or group excursions.

The primary characteristic of a tilausjuna is its flexibility. The route, schedule, and even the type of rolling stock can often be customized to meet the specific needs of the client. This allows for direct travel between locations not served by regular trains or for travel at times that would otherwise not be available. Passengers on a tilausjuna often experience a more personalized service, with options for catering, special decorations, or onboard entertainment.

In Finland, various railway operators offer tilausjuna services. These services can range from a single carriage for a small group to an entire train for hundreds of passengers. The booking process usually involves contacting the railway company's charter department to discuss requirements and receive a quote. Tilausjunat are a convenient and often cost-effective solution for group travel, especially when covering longer distances or requiring specific logistical arrangements that scheduled services cannot accommodate. They provide a unique travel experience, offering privacy and a dedicated space for the group's activities during the journey.
