Luoma railway station: Difference between revisions

'''Luoma''' ([[Finnish language|Finnish]]) or '''Bobäck''' ([[Swedish language|Swedish]]) was a station on the [[VR commuter rail]] network located in [[Kirkkonummi]], [[Finland]], between the stations of [[Mankki railway station|Mankki]] and [[Masala railway station|Masala]]. The station had two tracks, with track one serving trains towards Kirkkonummi and track two towards [[Helsinki]]. The station was opened in 1932, then named as Nokka. In that time, there was another station named Luoma, located about a kilometer more towards Helsinki. The station was out of use between 1944 and 1956, as the [[Porkkala]] Cape served as a Soviet military base and the frontier passed through the station. When the original Luoma station was abolishedshut down in 1978, the Nokka station was renamed as Luoma.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.luomankyla.net/historiafin.htm |title=Luoman kyläyhdistys - Kirkkonummi ry |accessdate=2013-09-22 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130926211729/http://www.luomankyla.net/historiafin.htm |archivedate=2013-09-26 }}</ref> Because of very low number of passengers, the station was closed a day after neighbouring station Mankki on 27 March 2016.<ref>[https://www.hsl.fi/en/news/2016/major-changes-public-transport-2016-metro-extended-espoo-7898 Major changes to public transport in 2016 – Metro extended to Espoo]</ref>
