Ülemiste railway station

Ülemiste railway station (Estonian: Ülemiste raudteejaam) is a railway station in the Ülemiste sub-district of Tallinn, the capital city of Estonia. It is located approximately 500 metres from Tallinn Airport,[2] to which it has been connected by a tramline since 2017.[3]

The station is served by the trains of the Estonian government-owned passenger train operator, Elron.[1] Express trains from Tallinn Baltic Station stop at Ülemiste on the way to Tartu and Narva, and there is a commuter service to stations on the line to Aegviidu.[1]

Rail Baltica

Ülemiste station will be the location of Rail Baltica's Tallinn terminus, which is planned to open in 2030. High-speed trains on Rail Baltica will connect the three Baltic capitals to Poland using the new standard-gauge railway.[4][5] An international competition was held to find a design for the new terminal with "Light Stream" by Zaha Hadid Architects being declared as the winner. The new station will be directly linked to Tallinn Airport by a pedestrian bridge.[6][7]
