2. The bus should arrive at Narvik Station at 1110. Leave your luggage in a baggage locker and check out lovely Narvik until
3. The train leaves from Narvik at 1345 and

From Kiruna to Fargernes (or Tromsø)

Train and Bus

1. The train leaves Kiruna at 1115 and
2. Arrives at Narvik station at 1403. There's a cafe in the train station and the prices are OK.
3. The bus leaves, from the bus station - not the railway station, at 1515. Be sure to be there on time or you must stay in Narvik overnight. The bus station is very close to the raiway station; turn right on leaving the station and walk up to the main road (E6). You will see a gas station towards the left and the bus station is next to it. If you get there early, you will get a better seat.
4. The bus arrives in Fargernes at 1935 and in Tromsø at 1955. Watch carefully for Fargernes or you will be carried on to Tromsø; the gas station, turning to EISCAT and the hotel are good reference points.
5. Getting from EISCAT/IRF to the railway station and from the bus is, again, left as an exercise (maybe literally) for the traveller.
