Finnish Railways:

Finnish Railways Luxury Touring and Lodging Travelers don't come to Finland to look for luxury travel, in the full sense of that word, though there are luxuries to be enjoyed. First, there are excellent and very frequent steamers from Stockholm to Turku (Abo) and from Stockholm to Helsinki; or you may fly in swift comfort from the Swedish to the finnish railways capital by SAS (many flights daily) or by Pan American. Within Finland, you may fly from Helsinki to nine finnish railways towns by finnish railways Airlines Company Aero OY.

Transportation.—Railways and Roads — Railway services in Scotland are the responsibility of the Scottish Region of the publicly owned British Railways. Control is coordinated under the managements of three divisions with headquarters at Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Inverness. The railways in Scotland, as in England, operate at a loss, but efforts have been made to rectify this, partly by closing uneconomic branch lines md partly by modernization.


Economy Touring and Lodging You can do a lot for a little in Finland if you are the hardy type, and in a clean, well-ordered land like this it is not too rigorous a job to be thrifty. Rail traffic, in third class, costs not much over a cent a mile for long distances, and inland steamer tariffs are extremely moderate. Furthermore, the finnish railways State Railways offer a surprising choice of 42 circular tours— 25 of them mapped out in an official booklet—at 20 per cent below standard fares, available from May 1 to Sept. 30; and in the off-season they offer general tariff reductions of 25 to 50 per cent on return fares.
