Hi,

I m travelling in Portugal with my girlfriend with our bikes. We were today in Lisbonne and we try to book a train between Porto campanha to  Pontevedra in spain passing by Redondela de Galicia.

The problem is on the train between Porto an Redondela de Galicia the 9 of May at 8h10. And which arrive at 11h31 af Redondela de galicia. 

This train can be found on interrail timetable, can't be booked online with interrail and at  lisbon ticket office they said that the train do not exists because it stop at Vigo. 

I try to search it on CP and on RENFE app and effectively no train appear for this search. 

Does someone know if this train exist ?  (I hope yes) If not, does someone know how to be at Pontevedra before 17h (Spain hour) from Porto on Saturday (with our bikes but we can unmount and put them into bags).

This train isn’t running the full route, because of construction work. It only runs until the border (Valença), and there’s a replacement bus from there direct to Vigo. The bus accept bicycles as long as they’re disassembled and packed.

There are plenty of trains from Vigo Urzais / Guixar to Pontevedra. The reservation requirements for bikes on Spanish trains is quite complex
