HKL 612 (HKL Artic X54)

Tram line 15 (project name Raide-Jokeri) is a tram/light rail route going from Itäkeskus to Keilaniemi via Oulunkylä-Huopalahti-Leppävaara. It goes east to west around central Helsinki, rather that through it. It is independent line and not connected to the rest of city tram network, although technically they are compatible. So there is possibility to connect these networks in the future via new lines. Škoda Artic XL (Artic X54) trams are in use, vehicle maintenance is done at new Roihupelto depot. Line 15 started operating on October 2023.
