Rail traffic has come to a halt on Friday after a protest by locomotive drivers began at midnight, says Helsingin sanomat newspaper, according to which Pasila’s main railway station in Helsinki was deserted on Friday morning.
State Railways VR on Friday reported that the stoppage affected HSL commuter trains as well as long-distance passenger and freight lines, canceling almost all rail traffic in the country.
The protest depends on the alleged breach of contract. Drivers allege that VR has violated an existing collective agreement by forcing drivers to work while away from work.

About 50 of Aktia’s banking customers may have been victims of online fishing, which hijacked users’ logins, reports Swedish-speaking daily Hufvudstadsbladet. However, Aktia has not confirmed the exact number of victims.
Thomas Ranninen was one of the victims, according to the HBL. Last Friday, he logged on to Aktia’s website to pay the bill. A moment later, three separate transfers of less than 10,000 were made from his account.
"Ten thousand seems to be a one-time lifting limit," he said, adding that Aktia said it was not certain that the bank would repay his loss. Ranninen said he was now making a police report.
Henri Heinonen, the bank ‘s chief security officer, said criminals create fake banking sites that rank high in search results.
Finnish banks have urged customers not to use their online banking services through search engines. Instead, customers should type the address of the bank’s website directly into the browser’s search bar.
