History

Leppävaara station was built in 1903 and the first station building in 1907. The greatest change occurred in autumn 1999 when the station building was torn down to build a new railroad track in Leppävaara and a new terminal.

The Sello shopping centre has brought more traffic to the station since late 2002,^{[citation needed]} the latter part having been completed in autumn 2005. The shopping centre is located right next to Leppävaara station.

Connections

All local trains to Siuntio (Y and X trains), Kirkkonummi (U train) and Kauklahti (E train) stop at Leppävaara, in addition to all Pendolino and InterCity services from Helsinki to Turku and Turku Satama (Turku Harbour) . The construction of the new track caused part of the train schedules and stops to be rearranged, and introduced the A train, stopping at all stations.
