Hi!
can anyone tell me if there are any problems currently getting 1st class bookings for the 21:45 sleeper from Madrid to Lisbon. On a couple of booking sites including ACP, I can only see 2nd class seats available. I don't want the sleeper until 23rd July but putting in earlier dates only shows up 2nd class seats and no sleeper availablity.
Thanks

Hi!
Unfortunately this seems to be a current issue that only bookings for regular seats are available online for the night trains to/from Lisbon - a number of people in the German language forum have had similar problems during the last days.
This may be due to RENFE blocking the booking - regular tickets are shown available for all categories on RENFE. I havent had the chance yet to test this at my local station - normally all categories can reserved but maybe booking is not only blocked online but also at foreign stations.
Again, your only option seems to wait and see if reservation will open anytime soon. Sorry. :|
Maybe also think about contacting RENFE directly through their contact form on the website to complain about the current situation which is not very costumer friendly...
