There used to be a request stop called Pelto whistle stop on the eastbound line towards Espoo and Helsinki, but this stop was closed in 1995 due to lack of use. There also used to be a little halt, Mankki, on the westbound line towards Kirkkonummi. This halt was closed in 2016 due to low passenger amounts.
