|||
It is served by two daily passenger trains, one to [[Stockholm]] (an overnight train, see below) and one to [[Luleå]], both go via [[Kiruna]] and [[Boden, Sweden|Boden]], all these destinations are in [[Sweden]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://entur.no/kart/stoppested?id=NSR:StopPlace:62318 |title=Narvik stasjon |website=Entur |access-date=10 September 2024 }}</ref> In 2024 these passenger services are operated by [[Vy Tåg]], a subsidiary of the former Norwegian State Railways which won the operating contract, but [[SJ AB|SJ]], a state-owned passenger train operator in Sweden, has won back the contract from 15 December 2024 onwards.<ref>{{cite news |first=Ulf |last=Nyström |url=https://jarnvagar.nu/sj-tar-over-nattagen-i-norr/ |title=SJ tar över nattågen i norr |trans-title=SJ takes over the night trains in the north |work=Järnvägar |date=10 July 2024 |access-date=8 September 2024}}</ref> |

Since 2020 a local summer seasonal passenger service, called 'The Arctic Train' has been operated between Narvik and [[Bjørnfjell Station|Bjørnfjell]] and back. Tickets are sold to general public but cruise ship passengers are a target group.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Arctic Train - The Ofot Railway |url=https://www.norwaysbest.com/things-to-do/train-experiences/the-arctic-train/ |website=Norways best |access-date=10 September 2024 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=The Arctic Train - Ofoten Line |url=https://www.visitnarvik.com/arctic-train-ofoten-line |website=Visit Narvik |access-date=10 September 2024 |language=en}}</ref> |

It is the northern terminus for one of Europe's most celebrated night trains, the {{lang|sv|Norrlandståget}} which leaves [[Stockholm]] around six every afternoon, reaches [[Lappmarken]] by early the following morning, and then traverses the mountains that delimit the modern frontier between [[Sweden]] and [[Norway]] to reach the [[Ofotfjord]], on the south shore of which lies the port of [[Narvik (town)|Narvik]], where it arrives early afternoon. It is a journey which has been praised as "surely one of the most engaging adventures by train in all Europe".<ref>{{cite journal |last=Gardner |first=Nicky |title =Night Train to Narvik |journal = Hidden Europe Magazine |volume = 15 |date=July 2007 |pages = 22–27 |url=https://www.hiddeneurope.eu/the-magazine/issues/hidden-europe-15/night-train-to-narvik/ |url-access=subscription}}</ref> |

==History== |
|||
[[file:Narvik 1. Bahnhof.jpg|thumb|Original 1902 built station at the official opening of the line in 1903]] |
|||
Prior to the line opening the station was known as ''Taraldsvik station'', it was constructed in 1900/1901. The station opened for passengers in 1902 along with [[Ofoten Line]], to the Swedish border, and its continuation, the [[Iron Ore Line]], in Sweden.<ref name="culture">{{cite web |title=Narvik jernbanestasjon - Ofotbanen / Lokomotivstall I, Jernbaneanlegg |trans-title=Narvik railway station - Ofotbanen / Locomotive stall I, Railway facilities |url=https://www.kulturminnesok.no/kart/?id=87650 |website=Kulturminnesok |language=no |access-date=9 September 2024}}</ref> |
|||
The station was officially opened and renamed as ''Narvik'' by [[King Oscar II]] on 14 July 1903.{{sfn|Owen|1996|p=117}} |
|||
The building was designed by [[Paul Armin Due]], the ground floor was built of cut granite and fitted with arched windows, while the first floor was constructed of wood in the Swiss style.<ref name="gamle">{{cite web|access-date=9 September 2024 |language=no |publisher=gamlenarvik.no |title=Km 03,70 Narvik Stasjon historie |trans-title=Km 03.70 Narvik Station history |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240228102721/https://www.gamlenarvik.no/wiki/index.php/Km_03,70_Narvik_Stasjon_historie |url=https://www.gamlenarvik.no/wiki/index.php/Km_03,70_Narvik_Stasjon_historie |archive-date=28 February 2024 }}</ref> |
|||
In 1914 the station had one long-distance sleeper service to and from [[Boden Central Station]].{{sfn|Bradshaw|1972|loc=Table 311a}} By 1939 there were two sleeper services that ran through to Stockholm.{{sfn|Cook's Timetable|1939|loc=Table 218}} |
|||
The station was badly damaged during [[World War II]] and was rebuilt afterwards, reopening in 1951. The new station was described as "small, modern and convenient".{{sfn|Watts|1953|p=384}} |
