Excellent, thank you !
Thanks to everyone who has contributed.I decided to book reservations on a later train that day that is available through the eurrail reservations system. It means arriving into Cordoba after 10:30PM but at least we can get from Nimes to Cordoba in one travel day.Whilst most national railways seem to offer more flexibility RENFE seem to have gone backwards since 2019 and make it rather Kafka-esque trying to get into Spain from France!
Thanks to https://community.eurail.com/members/ralderton-16285 https://community.eurail.com/members/joanneobrien-17247 and https://community.eurail.com/members/thibcabe-15366 for you comments and suggestions. I’ve booked reservations on a later train from Nimes to Madrid which means arriving into Cordoba at 10:30PM but at least we know we’ll get there in a day’s travel.The guy at Discoverbyrail (Andy) was very clear that a reservation for the train I wanted to get from Nimes to Madrid could only be purchased from a RENFE station in Spain but of course it’s impossible to get into Spain in the first place. Very Kafka-esqe of RENFE that !
FYI I just tried Andy at Discoverbyrail and he says that the reservations that I want for the specific train I want to travel on can only be bought at a RENFE ticket office in Spain 🤔
Hi and thanks for your reply! I saw that Seat61 suggested an agent so from what you’re saying then it looks like my best (probably only!) option at the moment.I was able to book reservations online at RENFE last time we had a eurrail pass in 2019 but it looks like, for some, things move backwards rather than forwards!Thanks
