    Finland’s national railway operator has said it will resume services between Helsinki and Saint Petersburg in Russia on March 30, less than a week after having halted the service.

    Do you have a link for this? I use this train fairly frequently but I can't find anything on VR's website about starting Allegro services again.

      Found more info: This only applies to freight and not passenger trains. VR Transpoint will resume freight between Finland and Russia, but the Allegro trains will remain suspended.

        Machine translated:

        spoiler

        Today, VR decided to restart freight transport today. The company says it has been in talks with the British authorities and its own banks - and according to the clarified interpretation, the sanctions do not apply to VR's operations.

        • Therefore, we can continue the important export, import and transit traffic of the railways and at the same time keep the Finnish export industry running, the press release states.

        ...

        • These things are coming up really quickly in this world - and everyone wants to react without delay due to the horrible situation in Ukraine, Koskinen says.
        • On the other hand, the consequences of breaches of sanctions are defined in the companies' agreements. That is why we are concerned.

        It would be pointless for a violator to ask the bank for a new loan. Even old debts could fall due immediately.

        During the first part of the week, VR has had discussions with British authorities and banks. Although the name of Russian Railways can still be found on the British sanctions list, the new interpretation states that the sanctions do not apply to the VR group.
