So I did the journey Barcelona Saints - Madrid-P. de Atocha and then Madrid-P. de Atocha - Malaga without a bicycle reservation at the end of January. No one asked for the reservation. Before entering the train, at the ticket checking, I just presented the QR-code for scanning and the RENFE guy didn’t bother to read what was written on the ticket + he didn’t seems surprised at all with me carrying a huge bag (that was slightly bigger than the max allowed size btw (130x85x40 cm^3) (the allowed size is 120x90x40) as if it was perfectly normal.In the trains that I took (AVE trains), there was a huge rack next to the restaurant coach (see picture (it’s my bike on the rack)) but I don’t know if it’s the case for all the trains… On the return journey, my seat reservation was too far from this coach so I just left the bike between 2 coachs, next to a wall (making sure that there was enough space for people to pass next to it). The RENFE personnel in the train did not complain about that.I don
Thanks but I'm too far from Germany. Anyway this is too complicated just for booking a bicycle reservation... this should really be embedded in the interrail seat booking webshop/app. I will just go without bike réservation and hope for the best...
Thanks for the answer!So I called RENFE, they said they can’t add the reservation for the bicycle because the seat reservation was booked via interrail and so the bicycle should be booked also with interrail (which apparently is not possible or ?) … or at a train station in Spain (very practical from Switzerland...) 🙄
