For the SJ commuter trains, you'd need to change at Upplands-Visby.
That option was certainly in place when I went through Arlanda in '05
on my way to Kiruna, but as I said it seemed silly to make life more
difficult for the sake of saving a small amount.

It was after 2005 that that I went. I didn't find a local train
option, and the airport information desk explicitly denied that it was
possible - it was airport shuttle trains or road.

So you asked about trains to Upplands-Visby, then?

Probably something like "is there a way to get to central Stockholm by
train which is cheaper than the Arlanda Express?". Which would in theory
cover going via Narvik and pogo stick connection to Bodo, should that be
an option.

It's quite possible that going via Upplands-Visby wasn't/isn't cheaper.
Not sure how SJ was doing their ticketing then. But it's been there
as an option for a while.

If you want cheap, get the bus. 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)
