I can thoroughly recommend travelling by SJ Night train and was fortunate enough to do Stockholm - Narvik in early 2020 just before lockdown. The train was very clean, the beds very comfortable, the older type cars have lots of character and ride well being quite heavy on the rails. As you say Noel, the Swedish people are lovely too, it's quite possibly my favourite country to visit.

[@AdurianJ]

The reason that there are two locomotives is either that the train is extra long or that it's winter that at least one locomotive will be functioning so that the passengers don't freeze to death in the wilderness of northern Sweden before help arrives on a cold day. Look at a rail and road map of northern Sweden and you'll see that the roads do not always go where the railroad goes.

[@jatterhog]

freeze to death is a bit of an exaggeration 😂

Nice to see another review from Sweden. Hope you'll come back and do another review of the Arctic Circle Train. As a traindriver at SJ I can recommend to travel between Kiruna-Narvik. One of the most beautiful views you can get. If you wanna save time and money, take the flight from Stockholm Arlanda to Kiruna Airport and then board the SJ Arctic Circle (night train) that arrives from Stockholm. You'll not regret it 😉👍

I done this trip a few months back just before all the lockdowns, I did Narvik to Abisko via the train and stayed at Abisko for 3 days then Abisko to Stockholm, great train ride and an amazing part of the world.

I love the slightly Soviet looking stuff, because it works. A company bought trains to use in Sweden, winter tested in Marseille, made by Italians. They NEVER worked and ALWAYS broke down.

Those Rc engines are amazing. Originally from end of 60ies with upgraded versions during the years. Still used today. Never read about them breaking down a lot or having any issues. Good engineering skills back then.

I have been on this Sleeper a couple times before, since I live in Umeå. This Sleeper train used to be the only southbound rail service from Umeå before 2012 when the Botnia Line opened and high-speed services could come through northwards from Sundsvall. Along with the HS extension, the sleeper trains were also re-routed.

Got loads of memories flashing back from this vid. I was studying up north so I’ve done that train ride loads of times. Fun to see it agin, not much has changed in twenty years. Seeing the station brings back the memories when me and my mates had a big night out in Luleå, ending up sleeping in my car. I didn’t have the best of mornings... and then a train arrived😳😳

I'd do the train in a heartbeat. As a matter of fact, my wife and I took our honeymoon four years ago by train from Oakland, CA to Washington, DC via Chicago on the California Zephyr and Capitol Limited after having flown to SFO the day before the trip. It was a lovely way to spend three days, where our only concern was when we ate.

[@Mossy-Rock]

Thank you, Noel, for a nice video. This brings up our experience from Umeå to Stockholm in November, 2019. We figured that the journey time is such that you do not arrive in Stockholm too early. The average speed is certainly lower than the same daytime journey on SJ using X3000 equipment. We observed that we were placed in passing loops quite frequently, no doubt because this is not a high-priority train. Keep up the good work!

Because of your video that I watched back in 2020, me and my dad went on a night-train trip from Stockholm to Luleå this last week, amazingly cozy way to travel and something I really want to make into a sort of yearly tradition, already miss it actually, even if it's a bit snug!

Great vid. I travelled to Sweden by train from London in 1981. I loved the country so much I visited every year until 1988 when I emigrated here. I spent weeks every summer travelling around Sweden by train. I did the Narvik journey in 1984 and always met lovely people like you say. European rail travel was so much different back then and you could sit in the same seat from the Hook of Holland to Stockholm as the train was shunted onto the ferry at Puttgarden (Germany) and Helsingør (Denmark). My first job over here when I was learning the language was cleaning trains and the train station in Mora where I live. If you come back you should try the "Inlandsbana" in the summer. Be sure to look me up if you are ever in Mora. By the way "En smak av Sverige" means "A taste of Sweden". And the pun on the word "taste" works in both languages.

[@robertp.wainman4094]

Nice story! Do you remember the 'cinema car' on the train from Stockholm to Narvik? (Nordpilen?) I too like the Swedish way - it's funny how people think of 'laid back' countries in Europe as usually being somewhere Latin - whereas the way things work so well in Sweden in such a calm and friendly way, to me epitomises a 'laid back' lifestyle.

I have travelled the night train between Stockholm and Luleå many times and every time I do, I say "never again". The line is very bendy and the train creaks and shakes. I can never sleep and mobile Internet along a lot of the route is almost non-existant. It's quite the journey compared to a one and half hour domestic flight between the two cities!

[@RealCadde]

If you have trouble sleeping on a train then you are probably having trouble sleeping anywhere else that isn't completely isolated. I can sleep on the intercity train between Gothenburg and Stockholm just fine as long as the seat next to me isn't occupied. Those seats are super comfy as you lay across them sideways with a pillow towards the window.

[@ThatForeignBloke]

@@RealCadde I used to travel up and down the country with SJ full time. I had Black SJ Prio membership and could and did sleep on just about any other any train. However, the night train is creaky, shaky and slow and being a tall person whose head touches the wall and feet the opposite wall, the night train for me just ISN'T a comfortable sleep. Nowhere else is my head constantly banging against a wall!

I have been to Europe twice now and I love being able to catch trains around and it is something I wish was still a thing back here in Australia. I know you love your planes but I personally hate flying and the flights to Europe from Australia and back are more than enough, I mean yeah it gets you across vast distances fast but when traveling there is something more rewarding about a train as first you don't need to travel to the outskirts of a city to get to the airport and you also get to see the country you are in and it is more comfortable as I am a pleb and can never afford to fly posh class on long haul flights. Anyway this train was well worth it, the interesting thing is the food car changes on if you do the trip from Narvik, it is an older style wagon which is worth it for the look lol but yeah that car doesn't make it down to stockholm.
