The station is served by circular lines I and P, and is between the stations of Myyrmäki and Martinlaakso.
There are two platforms serving both north and southbound trains, one lift and a waiting room. Many local bus connections are available nearby.
History
The residential area of Louhela, built in Vantaa in the 1960s (then still known as Helsingin maalaiskunta), was designed to revolve around a metro station, placed in the intersection of the streets of Louhelantie and Uomatie. As the municipality along with the city of Helsinki took upon the planning of a commuter rail line instead, the idea of a station in Louhela was not originally in the cards as it and the rest of Myyrmäki were meant to be served by a single station by the name of Etelä-Vantaa. The plan was canned as the planned line was moved further east in 1971.[1]
The station building was funded by the city of Vantaa. Its building process was burdened by delays, and despite the original date for the opening of the line being in the autumn of 1974, the Louhela station was finished on 23 April 1975.[2]
The station building's walls were adorned with street art in 2018 as part of a project funded by the city. Eleven artists were assigned to paint their personal interpretation of the poem Jokiyöt, written by poet Vesa Haapala.[3]
