Ainola railway station (Finnish: Ainolan rautatieasema, Swedish: Ainola järnvägsstation), formerly Kyrölä railway station,[3] is a Helsinki commuter rail station in the town of Järvenpää, Finland. The station is served by Helsinki commuter rail R- and T-line trains. Trains to Helsinki depart from track one and trains to Riihimäki depart from track two.
The station was renamed Ainola on 1 June 2015 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the composer Jean Sibelius.[3][4] Ainola was his and his wife Aino's home.[5] The walk from the station to Ainola takes around 20 minutes.[4]
