Henna railway station (Finnish: Hennan rautatieasema, Swedish: Henna järnvägsstation) is located in the town of Orimattila, Finland, in the district of Henna.[2] It is located along the Kerava–Lahti railway, and its neighboring stations are Lahti in the north and Mäntsälä in the south.
In 2012, the town of Orimattila and the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency signed a letter of intent as well as a planning agreement about the possibility of building a new halt in the town district of Henna.[3] In the long term, the town plans to develop Henna into an urban area with accommodation for around 2,300–5,500 jobs and 6,400–15,400 residents.[4]
The station was opened on 12 October 2017, and an official inauguration ceremony was held on the same day, in which Minister of Transportation and Communications Anne Berner was present.[2] The new halt increased the travel time of commuter trains between Lahti and Helsinki by approximately 3 minutes, with minimal effects on freight train schedules. As of 2019, the station served under 100 passengers daily.[4]
