About this buyer
Read more
Issues licences and competences and supervises rail transport, covering rail operations, track networks, urban rail, rail safety and operational assurance, rolling stock, regulation, training and passenger services. It is also the authority now preparing the competitive tendering of all state-purchased passenger rail for when VR's operating-rights agreement expires at the end of 2030; its own statistics page still records the ministry as the competent authority outside the HSL area, and the change is visible on the January 2026 Rauma–Tampere notice.
