Hello, I am trying to make a reservation for the RENFE AVE from Marseille to Madrid. 

On interrail.eu I get the message: Currently, reserving seats for journeys in Spain is only possible at Spanish train stations or by calling RENFE directly.

And happyrail.com does not show me any options.

I also talked to Deutsche Bahn customer service. They say that RENFE tickets can currently not be issued through Deutsche Bahn.

Is this only a temporary problem? Can I hope reservation will be possible in a few days?

Thanks, Thomas

 

Let's hope it's temporary. With Renfe, you never know.

In addition, DB can't book the international AVEs. They can book Renfe domestic trains though, at the ticket office or by phone, with staff who know what they're doing. I know someone who booked a Renfe reservation at a DB ticket office 10 days ago. He had to ask at 3 places though because the first 2 just said it wasn't possible and didn't look in their manual (Verkaufsleitfaden).


Thanks for the quick answer. interrail.com still shows the message above, but happyrail.com now shows RENFE reservation options again.
