Hello,
June 12th I am planning on travelling from Stockholm to Narvik. I wanted to take a direct nighttrain, but this train does not go due to railwork. So instead I want to take the train from Stockholm to Björkliden, with a change in Boden. The last part from Björkliden to Narvik we will do by bus or hitchhiking.
My question is: how can I make reservations for these trains? (A bed for Stockholm-Boden, and a seat for Boden-Björkliden). I’ve tried the following options:
- Via Vy: you can only make reservations with an Interrail pass by calling them. However, I can’t reach them. I’ve been in their phone queu for more than an hour for a couple of times now, and this is getting quite expensive… They also dont respond to my e-mails.
- Via Interrail: I get the following error (see screenshot)
- via SJ: it says “tickets are not released"
- via Trainplanet: tickets are also not released yet. I called them, and they told me they do not have any information about when they will be released.
Please, can somebody help me? Why is it not possible to book with Interrail? Are these trains already sold out? Did someone else manage to make reservations?
Thanks so much for your reply in advance. We have to book soon, and our whole trip depends on this connection...
