Five minutes slower than the P for the same price. Take it only if it is leaving first — by the time the next P arrives you would still be ahead.

It does not go through Tikkurila from the airport; for long-distance trains that is the P.

Its last departure is around midnight, an hour to two before the P's.

Same ABC ticket, same two prices: EUR 4.50 on the app, EUR 4.80 at the machine or by tapping a card.
