This should be renamed as "Ilmala halt", as the Finnish name for it is "Ilmalan seisake", seisake meaning a halt. A halt offers only passenger services and has no personnel, on the other hand a station has personnel, and perhaps also cargo functions.

Ilmala used to only have a halt, but it was expanded into a station in 2000 [1]. According to the Railway station article, 'a most basic station might only have platforms', and Ilmala has more than that. The Finnish article is at fi:Ilmalan rautatieasema (railway station), and 'Ilmalan asema' gets more than six times as many Google hits as 'Ilmalan seisake'. - ulayiti (talk) 22:44, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The original halt was a stop without full platforms, if I recall correctly... (It has been many moons since I was last there though...) I think that there might have been some low level wooden platforms, but they were very low to the ground. Apparently, the current station has true platforms and all...
