Hi,

I am planning a to Svolvaer in Lofoten in early autumn as part of a tour around Scandinavia. I am hoping to keep my travel expenses to a minimu so I intend on purchasing a ScanRail pass.

I would like to go from Narvik to Svolvaer, spend two nights there and continue on to Bodo. From what I can tell from websites I can take a ferry/bus for this at a discount. What I cannot figure out is how much is the discount.

To make things a little more interesting, I am actually planning on taking the overnight train from Stockholm to Narvik and then (hopefully) travel directly to Lofoten without spending a night in Narvik. (the earliest I can arrive in Narvik is about 13:30) Is this possible? Would I be better off just flying?

Thanks.

Jim
