Did they buy them by phone or in the train station? The Deutche Bahn representative went into the system with the train numbers I provided and was unable to make the booking. As it took, cumulatively, several hours to research the phoning option and actually reach someone (37 minute wait to have my call answered) just want to warn anyone pressed for time that it was a fruitless journey for me.
Reservations for Spanish domestic trains Booking reservations for Spanish domestic trains is not possible online. You can buy them: At a Spanish ticket office Possibly at Lisboa Santa Apolónia (They're reported to have a Spanish system there. Please let me know if you can confirm.) At a Deutsche Bahn ticket office. You need to provide the train number. Via Deutsche Bahn by phone (+49 30 2970 or directly to the English line +49 30 311682904). Collect at a DB ticket machine or receive via post (€5.90 per order). You need to provide the train number. Via a Swiss ticket office or by phone (scroll down to Switzerland). Unknown if reservations can be sent via e-mail. Send me a message if you find out. Via RENFE by phone, with limitations, see this page (scroll down to Spain). Reservation must be collected in Spain. The good thing is that these reservations are not quota-controlled, so you can book seats until the train is full. Train numbers can be looked up via www.raileurope.com or
Thanks for this, the link for Spanish reservations suggests ringing Deutsche Bahn, and this seems to be on the only option I can find for booking trains within Spain having my Eurail discount applied. Did I miss something? Is there another option?
Thank you very much for your help. The Renfe site will allow me to book the return tickets to and from Cadiz and Barcelona, there are still seats for us but at a cost is €840. If I ring Deustche Bahn (and get someone helpful) I can get these tickets for the cost of the reservation? Is there any other way to get use our Eurail passes to get to Cadiz from Barcelona?
