Luoma (Finnish) or Bobäck (Swedish) is a station on the VR commuter rail network located in Kirkkonummi, Finland, between the stations of Mankki and Masala. The station has two tracks, with track one serving trains towards Kirkkonummi and track two towards Helsinki. The station was opened in 1932, then named as Nokka. In that time, there was an other station named Luoma, located about a kilometer more towards Helsinki. The station was out of use between 1944 and 1956, as the Porkkala Cape served as a Soviet military base and the frontier passed through the station. When the original Luoma station was abolished in 1978, the Nokka station was renamed as Luoma.[1] Because of very low number of passengers, the station will be closed from 27 March 2016.[2]
