AR17 Flight Information

<< < (8/15) > >>

Neobie:
Mystery solved! And I think everyone was right to some extent!

We've figured out that teams got off the train at Uppsala to change to taxis, and in the debarkation shots there's a clock showing, vaguely, 6.00am. We also know that teams at Narvik took the 10.26am, and not later, more direct trains, to Uppsala. Hence, I propose:

IC 95 to Boden, 1026-1653
IN 91 to Uppsala, 1725-0602

Which, after a 30min taxi ride, gives teams a couple of hours breathing room at Arlanda before their flight at 10.14am.

I think this is right.

Most of the footage of the train arriving at the station and teams embarking is not from Narvik. There are a number of facts indicating this:
 * The first shot of the train arriving is labeled as 10:26am. But we clearly see a clock on the platform which says 16:55.
 * The signs at the platform are in Swedish (Vagnsläge E).
 * There are no mountains or fjords in the background
 * This station has a small roof on the platform, but the Narvik station does not.

My guess is that this was shot at Boden, and the layout of that station matches what is shown.

PS There is one short shot taken from low when the train arrives which is probably from Narvik. It has a yellow house and mountains in the background.

Chateau d If:
Nice call on the Boden connection Maf  :jam:

I don't know why DB did not show me the ride when I checked.

apskip:
The pit stop release time from St. Petersburg could be something around midnight (12 hours) starting June 8, 6am (18 hours)  or noon (24 hours); it doesn't matter. In all cases are a myriad of flights from St. Petersburg's LED to Moscow's DME airport that arrive on or before FY183 1711 1843:
S738
FY191
FY185
UN4
FV195
FV1799
S7 46
FV185
S7 40

The limiting part of the total route is the flight from DME to Doha (DOH)QR867 1952 2336.
The connection from DOH to MCT is QR170 0057+1 0311+1.

Chateau d If:

Apskip, I've got you beat by two much better routes through either Munich or Frankfurt:

LED to FRA on FV 245 takes off at 5:15 am and arrives at 6:20 am
FRA to AUH on EY 2 takes off at 11:15 am and arrives at 7:35 pm
AUH to MCT on BA 73 takes off at 8:35 pm and arrives at 9:40 pm

LED to MUC on LH 3251 takes off at 5:50 am and arrives at 6:35 am
MUC to MCT on WY 124 takes off at 1:30 pm and arrives at 10:00 pm

Forget about Moscow !   :lol:
