The Renfe-SNCF train between France and Spain can be booked through the Interrail reservation self-service. Since this can only be issued in paper format, please be sure to make these reservations at least 2 weeks before your intended date of departure. You can also make this reservation by calling SNCF on +33 1 84 94 3635 (please press #85 for English assistance). All reservations for regional travel can be made locally at long distance stations in Spain. You can view a full list here. In theory, it should also be possible to pre-reserve tickets by calling Renfe's phone sales on +34 91 232 03 20. You can read more about traveling in Spain over here

No. The UK reservation system(s) isn’t compatible.

DB agencies in UK should be able to do this.

DB used to have 1 office in GB in Surbiton (?_a commuter place near to LON) but I understand this was done away with and now its all long-distance online service.

The assortment of british railways have done away with anything out of that funny island in the North Sea already way before <2000.

Without telling what sectors and for what days its impossible to tell if its worth even all the trouble or not. Some more flexibility might also help.

Hi @hannahLM 

Unfortunately reservations for Renfe are only possible through our Portal of reservations or directly on any large station in Spain. You can find more info here:
