The station is part of the Ring Rail Line (Kehärata) route, which links Helsinki-Vantaa Airport and central Vantaa with the Helsinki commuter train network.

[3] The city of Vantaa raised the matter once again some 10 years later; its plan was to extend the line over the north side of the Ring III highway, to serve the developing district of Myllymäki.

This would not happen at its full extent until the building of the Ring Rail Line, though a 900 metres (0.56 mi) extension from Martinlaakso to Vantaankoski was opened on 2 September 1991.

The new station underwent several changes of name over the course of the project; from Sanomala (deemed inappropriate due to the direct reference to a private company), to Tyttökumpu (after a nearby residential area), to finally Vantaankoski, which the city of Vantaa had proposed.

A brand new pedestrian bridge over the north side of the platforms was built, establishing a new connection for use by arriving and departing passengers.
