Does anyone know if there's a train or bus route from Murmansk into Northern Finland (Lapland)? I've looked everywhere, but I can't find a route... Shop

The contacts of Murmanskautotrans in Murmansk are +7 (8152) 421-154 (Russian only). The schedule can be found at http://www.koivistonauto.fi/aikataulut_kauko/aikataulu_132.html The bus goes Monday to Friday from Murmansk (Russia) at 8.30am, through Ivalo (Findland, north) and to Rovaniemi (arriving at 20.35). The price is about 30-50 EUR for one-way trip. Also, on Monday and Thursday there's a bus departing Murmansk at 6.00am going through Kandalaksha (the Russian border) at 10.10am and arriving to Kemiyarvi (Finland) at 14.30. Can I ask you if you go there and get some other information to post it here, so that other travelers can use it? Thanks!

But, I'll try and get him to drag down some info, if he uses the route. Thanks heaps, Shop
