Sometimes plans are moving and flexible and you may not remember to do this, something which happened to me lately. Then, as the ticket inspector on the P-train came I had to buy a "new ticket" for the ring rail, while I tried to explain that I am connecting and that is always then free, but no gain to explain that fact. Very silly design IMO - I think a better solution would be that if you hold a longdistance train ticket within an hour or so, your transfer within ring rail should be free just like that.

If you hold a long distance train ticket from Helsinki Airport train station to anywherw in Finland on VR you can take a earlier or later connection on I or P lines, obviously its your responsibility to make make sure you still make the the connection 😁
