Apskip, there is a Twitvid that shows teams on a train in sleeper cars. So I 'm guessing they leave Narvik by rail.
Here is a table of trains out of Narvik, going to Stockholm. There is only one per day. It leaves at 2:50 pm and it takes 18 hours and 25 minutes. It arrives in Stockholm at 9:15 am.
We have that teams were spoiled to have been on a flight that left ARN at 10:14 am on June 5th. I'm guessing that they were unable to make it to ARN and catch a flight in 59 minutes so my bet is that they ride the train that leaves on June 3rd and spend almost a full day hanging around Stockholm :)

Not so, Chateau. Nobody seems to pay much attention to my transportation schedule information, which is a pity. The train if you get off at Uppsala and take a local train to Arlanda airport arrives there as follows:

Here are timetables in effect August 22 to December 11 for trains from Kiruna to Narvik:
304 km Kiruna C 7.09 9.31 10.31 14.04(bus)
473 km Narvik 10.01 12.40 13.25 16.51(bus)
I could find nothing for earlier than August, but it is reasonable to assume schedules would be comparable or more frequent.
The reverse direction train schedules for the same date range from Narvik to KIruna are:
0 km Narvik 10.26 14.50
169 km Kiruna C 13.27 17.26
473 km Lulea in 17.24 21.04
473 km Lulea out 19.57
Uppsala in 8.31
Uppsala out 8.53
Arlanda Airport 9.01
This indicates it takes 22.5 hours to do this route by train.

Note that teams must get the 1026am train out of Narvik. With the 250pm train, they would have a one day delay somewhere.
That leaves ample time to make a 1310 flight ARN to LED.

It does.

Thanks Peach.
A little side tidbit about that SAS flight....SK732.......Sunday through Friday, it is a 1310 departure. Only on Saturdays is it a 1000 departure.

Thanks Apskip, but I had already fixed it. You should read the whole thread!
Now why are you talking about a 1310 flight from ARN to LED? That is for the wrong day of travel. We have from spoilers that the date was June 5th. And on June 5th there is no 1310 flight from ARN to LED.
