Sundsvall-Timra (SDL): the airport bus ended on 19 June 2013
The airport still says it plainly: the Sundsvall to airport buses ceased in June 2013. The alternative is a bus to Deltavagen and about a kilometre on foot to arrivals.
- The airport buses that ran Sundsvall to Sundsvall Timra Airport ceased on 19 June 2013. The airport says so on its own bus page.
- There is no replacement airport bus. Thirteen years on, that is the situation, not a temporary gap.
- The alternative is an ordinary bus to the Deltavagen stop.
- From Sundsvall to Deltavagen takes about 40 minutes.
- From Harnosand it is about 50 minutes.
- From the Deltavagen stop it is about one kilometre on foot to the arrivals hall.
- That kilometre is the part to plan for. In a Norrland winter, with luggage, it is a decision.
- Times and fares are with DinTur, the Vasternorrland public transport authority, on 0771-10 01 10.
- For most arrivals this is a taxi or a hire car airport.
- The airport is at Midlanda, between Sundsvall and Harnosand, which is why neither town has a short link to it.
The service that is not there
- The airport's own bus page opens with the fact: the airport buses that used to run the Sundsvall to Sundsvall Timra Airport route ceased on 19 June 2013.
- Nothing has replaced them. The page has been up long enough to make that clear.
What you can actually do
- Take an ordinary bus from Sundsvall to the Deltavagen stop.
| From | Time to Deltavagen |
|---|---|
| Sundsvall | about 40 min |
| Harnosand | about 50 min |
- From Deltavagen to the arrivals hall is about one kilometre on foot.
- Plan for that walk. It is the difference between a bus journey and a bus journey plus fifteen minutes in the weather.
- Times and fares come from DinTur, the Vasternorrland transport authority, on 0771-10 01 10.
The practical answer
- For most arrivals, this is a taxi or a hire car airport. A 40 minute bus plus a kilometre's walk is not a realistic transfer for anyone with a suitcase.
- Arrange it before you land, particularly for an evening arrival.
Where this is
- The airport is at Midlanda, roughly between Sundsvall and Harnosand on the Bothnian coast.
- It sits between two towns rather than beside one, which is the underlying reason the link has always been awkward.
