I know the train only started running a few days ago but need help from anyone who has done the train from Gällivare to Östersund this year (2023)
Three of us a booked to travel on 20 July Gällivare to Östersund. I see this year the southbound train stops at Arvidsjaur for 25 minutes. For 2022, the menu I downloaded off their website had a menu for Hotell Laponia but that is a 15 minutes walk from the station so won't be possible to walk from the station to buy / collect. The late afternoon stop this year I see is 45 minutes at a Vilhelmina Norra (17:01-17:46) yet the only place I can see there is Bergmans Fisk & Vilt which closes at 17:00! In 2022 the southbound train stopped at Vilhelmina in the town which is 8 minutes walk from the Hotell Wilhelmina. But no chance to make use of this year?
Do the places Inlandsbanan advertise take food orders and deliver to the train?
It's a long 14 hour journey and I'm not sure the offer on the train will be enough for everyone. Does anyone know if there is a supermarket / convenience store open at say 07:00 near Gällivare station before the train departs?
