There is indeed disruption in Doncaster with less trains running than usual : hourly instead of every 30 min. I'd still very much recommend LNER/the ECML over the route via Sheffield : trains are tiny, they'll be packed -> unpleasant experience. LNER via Leeds would only mean a single change and larger trains. Of course someone living in the area might be more helpful, I'll let them answer. Now looks like Paris will also be full of works : Gare de Lyon will pretty much be closed to traffic. Night trains don't run on that Saturday either (not sure if it's specific or common). So I'd spend the night in Paris and the following day take one of the 2 direct high-speed trains to Barcelona (35€). Note that they'll leave from Paris-Montparnasse and meander through Paris suburbs before reaching the high-speed line. (Why do companies plan engineering works on the busiest weekends of the year...) For the return journey you could definitely take the night train from Latour. Feel free to ask fo
Glad i registered and asked on here- does anyone know how the “Reservation must be done at the station works? I can get to Nimes from Preston by 21:39 and the first train off Nimes is at 9:01 and gets to Barca at12:38 which is ideal but I cant reserve a seat now. The next train at 13:29 and I can reserve a seat on that one - how does this work? I would sooner carry on and get there ASAP really AVE INT #9730 09:01 Nîmes Centre Sun 31 Mar 12:38 Barcelona Sants
Tahnsk for your help will research this in more detail tomorrow
Which is the overnight train, I can’t find that - it hasn’t shown on any of my searches?
I checked Leeds but there is disruption at Doncaster, so it would be Preston - Leeds - Doncaster - Sheffield - Londontrains to Manchester- Sheffield (or Chesterfield) --London seem to be bestWill look at desktop website, have only used my iPad
