That certainly existed then, too, but as I said I didn't feel like being silly for the sake of a small amount of money. The Arlanda Express was there, convenient and did the job. What more do you want? I'm from Yorkshire, so cheap. (I don't use the Gatwick or Heathrow expresses either) If you wanted cheap, then why on Earth were you in Sweden? It doesn't seem to fit, somehow.. So I could colour it in on my Thomas Cook map. Saving money on the trains allows it to be spent on frivolous stuff, like eating. OK, I'll grant you that. There are places in Stockholm worth eating in (though not cheap, but it's Sweden..). Further north it can be a bit more basic, though Kiruna had a third pub (called "The third pub") by 2005.. Recommendation for uk.r people visiting the northern end of Sweden. Hotel Jarnvagshotellet, which is not only one of the oldest buildings in Kiruna but sits right on the station platform, with a fine view over to the LKAB mine and its marshalling yards (complete with musical clashing couplings in the morning). For Sweden it's not expensive, either. Basic, but perfectly OK. http://www.jarnvagshotellet.net/start.htm No connection other than satisfied customer, etc. -- From the Model M of Andy Breen, speaking only for himself |
