Ryanair Stansted to Tampere: bus to Helsinki

hereiam_2

Apparently the bus which takes passengers arriving at Tampere airport to Helsinki ceased to operate from the beginning of December. Does anyone know of any viable means of onward travel to Helsinki for passengers arriving at the airport late in the evening? There are taxis, of course, but for a journey of about 100 miles few people's budgets will stretch that far!

Train or bus.

You can check Express buss timetables here, I think there are buses throughout the night: http://www.paunu.fi/english.html

Train timetables - I suppose not much luck here for late night travel: http://www.vr.fi/heo/eng/aika/faikataulukortit.htm

There will be bus to Tampere from the airport - if you are in hurry I would recommend taxi to Tampere as the airport bus is very slow at leaving. I have to admit I usually just spend night at Tampere (which is lovely city) and continue my journey the next morning. The Ryanair times are bit akward.

Thank you for your help Hannah. I have been travelling to Helsinki every 5 or 6 weeks for a number of years via the Stansted-Tampere route....and the sudden withdrawal of the Mobus bus did come as a shock!!
