Hi, I'm hoping to travel to to Abikso from Denmark. It is not easy (I wonder if not impossible) to book the tickets from Stockholm to Narvik by calling vy.se (+46 771-444 111). Have it worked for anybody? I was trying to call them from 7.00 today, and still without success… Waiting for hours on the line. By the way I used an app (Rebtel) for calling to save the money, after noticing that the waiting costed me much too much… My question is - how much does it cost to book a seat for vy's night train from Stockholm to Abisko? And also whether it has to be a bed or there is (perhaps) some cheaper option. I'm just a poor student:) Also I wonder if the alternative for trying to call this out-of-hell-company, that is waiting for sj.se to release the bookings, is anyhow realistic plan? It is weird that vy has some tickets open for sell on their website (although there are some errors if one tries to buy them), while all the other websites have no booking open whatsoever.
And actually, what is the current situation with the trains themselves? I've heard that there is some railroad maintainance work going on or sth like that. Are they some trains at the moment that operate at out there in the north? And what is the chance for the trains working around the 20th July and 10th August? Could it go all wrong?
