Jorvas railway station is a railway halt on the Helsinki commuter rail network located in the town of Kirkkonummi, Finland, between the Masala and Tolsa stations. The station is served by Helsinki commuter rail L and U trains.
History
Jorvas railway station originally a small stop (known as laituri in the old classification of railway stations in Finland used until 1969[2]) operating under the Masala railway station. The Plattformskjul III-type station building designed by architect Bruno Granholm was completed in 1903 and expanded in 1933 with the plans of architect Jarl Ungern.[3] The station remained in the Porkkala Naval Base leased to Soviet Union in 1944 and was re-opened for Finnish train traffic in 1956, as the naval base was returned to Finland.[3]
After the re-opening, the station functioned as a laiturivaihde (an non-independent, staffed station, usually operating under another nearby station, serving both passenger and freight traffic[2]) for a short while in 1961–1968 and after that as a seisakevaihde (an unstaffed stop for both passenger and freight traffic[2]). Freight traffic at the station ceased in 1987. The station building has since been demolished.[3]
