The parts people get wrong. Each one links to where we checked it.
Hours
VR's own Helsinki-Kuopio page states the trip takes 'about four hours' covering 336 km, without publishing an exact minute figure - left null here rather than substitute a more precise-looking number sourced only from an aggregator.

Fixed fare
VR's own site states the cheapest single ticket is €14.60 when booked in advance, with typical advance fares closer to €20 - both are promotional floor prices, not a fixed fare for every departure.
