In the spring of 2019, the European Parliament voted to end the clock changes in 2021. However, this proposal is still being considered by the Council of the EU.
Finland, like several European countries, switched to daylight saving time. However, in the country, it caused a failure in transportation. So, in railway stations in Finland, the clock started showing the wrong time. About this on Sunday, March 26, Yle wrote.
As the publication notes with reference to the Fintraffic railway traffic control center, during the clock change there was a failure in the information systems.
“The clocks at the stations continue to show winter time, that is, they are one hour behind,” the publication clarified.
At some stations they show the correct time, but the train departure time is incorrect.
In addition, the search did not work on the Finnish site for finding trains and timetables.
Just after 11 pm, Fintraffic reported that the problem had been fixed.
Daylight Saving Time is a common practice in the European Union. In Europe, this was justified by the need to save energy. The people of Finland switched to daylight saving time for the first time in the spring of 1981.
Recall that in western Finland there was a malfunction at the Olkiluoto nuclear power plant. The third reactor was shut down.
