VR adds new travel classes to trains
Rail transport|New Extra classes will be introduced on 25 March.
Vr says that they will introduce two new travel classes, Extra Rennon and Extra Plus.
In addition, it makes the current Extra class name Extra calm. It is meant to be quiet and act as a working space, for example.
Extra relaxed is done upstairs in intercity trains. According to the company's announcement, it is suitable for groups of friends, for example. According to VR, customers have hoped to « socialize upstairs in the restaurant car ».
Extra Plus, on the other hand, is a travel class for « personal service ». It comes to the Pendolino Plus trains, which start operating from Helsinki to Turku and Oulu later in the year.
The Extra Plus class has leather benches and more staff, such as their own service manager. You can also order a meal to be delivered in advance for the extra plus.
In all Extra classes, the water and warm drink are included in the ticket price.
Pricing Extra classroom tickets become dynamic. According to VR, the price of the ticket varies according to the route and the length of the route and the time of reservation and demand.
New Extra classes and pricing will take effect on March 25, when you can start buying tickets for classes.
In the past, for example, the Extra class tickets have paid a minimum of € 7.20 on the ordinary ticket between Helsinki and Lahti and at least € 4.10 on the upstairs restaurant tickets.
In the future, the same interval can cost $ 3.90-10.10 in the Extra Peace Class for a regular ticket and 2.9-7 euros in the caste class.
The corresponding prices between Helsinki-Oulu would be EUR 12.90-31.80 and EUR 11.90-28.80.
