Overnight on the unbelievable Arctic Circle train | Vy Nattåg
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- I took an overnight train journey from Stockholm, Sweden to Narvik, Norway. Aboard the Vy Nattåg, I ate reindeer, attempted a shower, and spent 22 hours gently rolling ever northward, through the wild Swedish hinterlands in autumn, to a Norwegian town way above the Arctic Circle. What an experience - despite my original plans being canceled due to track maintenance.
Note: As of this writing, I can't find the Narvik webcam feed on RUclips. If it comes back online, let me know and I'll put a link here. Thanks

I’ve taken these trains many times, most of the time everything works but every now and then stuff doesn’t work and i just talk to the staff and they fix it. One time the heat didn’t work, they had a magic button and darn it got hot. :D
That scenery from the train as you entered Norway was amazing. Thanks for sharing the experience!
Thanks. It is hard to take a bad photo from a train ride like this
"Raining and cloudy" isn't how it generally goes in Scandinavia - we get our fair part of it of course, but just as often we have lots and lots of sunshine too.
True. I guess it fit my idea of it though ;)
What a beautiful trip scenery is great anyway I really enjoy having you back have a great day and God bless
Thanks Larry, this scenery was amazing to gaze at
The Botnia Railroad along the coast up to Umeå that was inaugurated a bit over 10 years ago cut the traveling time by 2 hours.
There are a number of projects to cut travel time even more but it will take years and years.
Up in northern Sweden goods trains get all the priority and they don't need to be as fast.
Never in bad weather in autumn. Only in winter, I was there in winter with this train, it was so nice. So much snow and sunny.
I have to do that someday
@@T1DWanderer Here you can see my video from my february trip with this train ruclips.net/video/p0YSrEj_H8w/видео.htmlsi=tog6kZXvAIanGwzG
Thanks for sharing the great train trip with us. I really enjoyed seeing everything.
No problem, thanks for watching
Great adventure. Reminds me of parts of Canada 🇨🇦 eh. 😊
We just got back from a trip to Narvik so these videos are one big trip down memory lane. Very nice to watch, keep up the good work.
Thanks Harald. Hope Narvik is doing well and you enjoyed your trip!
Epic scenery, thank you!
You're welcome! I highly recommend this train
What luck, getting to see this! I stopped it to stare at that severely red house and optimistically red tree. The shower was hilarious. Great camerawork as usual, Jeremy.
Thanks! That shower was pretty dire, but kind of fun. Glad you like red Norwegian houses -- there are zillions up there
To be free of a car for you and able to relax until you arrive in Narvik.
ITS JUST AMAZING VIDEOOOOOOOO
Espectacular viaje ✌🏻
Thank you Manu! Glad you're watching
We have the same barber 😊
I can't believe you ate RUDOLPH !!! No Christmas for you buddy. 🚫
Not for the first time!
I am going to travel to Scandinavia in October and would like to take the night train (NT 93) from Narvik to Stockholm. Unfortunately the website tells me that these trains run only until the 14th of September. Do they not run in the winter or have they not been released for ticket purchase yet?
Thanks for your help.
They do run in the winter, so I don't know what's happening with the tickets this year
Looks like Canada to me :)
Language is fun. I am Norwegian, and often think Norwegian when I have to translate into English. "Bil" is a car in Norwegian, and "vogn", i.e. a train carriage, I would perhaps say is carriage or maybe wagon, while you Americans say it is a car.
I admit, "car" is not a great term for a train carriage :/
💪👏👌
Really nice! I’m going to follow the same route and I was wondering. Is the phone signal fine during the trip? And is it possible to upgrade in a first class suite while on board?
Thanks. I think the wifi was reasonable most of the time, but I don't remember exactly because I was staring out the window! I don't know if the train staff can accept payment for a room upgrade on board. If you mean a free upgrade, I'd also imagine not but I don't know. Either way, enjoy your trip!
Very nice video ;) do you know, Can I take bicycle in private compartment? Normal non-folding bike
Thanks. I'm not sure about the bicycle. I didn't see anyone doing that; there might not really be room. But there may be a way to store it in another part of the train (?)
@@T1DWanderer thank you for reply :) I asked to VY and I have reply that I can have bicycle, when you have own compartment (So in the own compartment for 3 people, which you were driving in WL6). It's success!
Great!
What a beautiful trip but man that shower was horrible! Somebody give that kid a bottle. Sheesh.
Yeah, that shower was... an "experience" let's say
Not you calling a pure comfort ride "WILD" haha
The landscape was wild!
Where do you come from?😊
I'm from the US
Why have jackets on inside the train? Makes you colder when you get off.
Gay Canadian, by chance?
I love riding trains but I wish the USA’s train service was better
