And kindly, if you read the blog entry, Riksgrรคnsen - the last Swedish station on the line to Narvik - is explained

Check-in times for Eurostar missing is another example (and part of the reason we donโ€™t yet sell Eurostar despite having ticketing access).

Weโ€™re basically redoing the work DB has done in their database on a case by case basis.

A first guess would be taking your final route and prepending the leg up from Helsinki. But itโ€™s much harder to do an exhaustive search than geodesic distance, so Iโ€™m not about to start writing the article on that one!

But we need some better definition than "it's the same building" I think!

But they do have separate UIC codes, and it is a short walk, but Cercanias does not have bag scanners, the high speed does.

I should probably ask what is intended there because we donโ€™t currently support a transfer between them at all.
