good morning everyone,

I am preparing a interrail with a group of 13 elements, when googled here rail.cc the links between Barcelona and Madrid gave me some results between them with the start at 19: 00h and from Barcelona arrival to Madrid ace 22:00 which was great, because we intend to make the connection between Madrid and Porto on the same day, (with scheduled departure at 22:30 in Madrid), only to search the RENFE site gave me different times, barcelona output ace 18:00 and arriving at 21:00 in Madrid, with this situation and the route we want to do we face a problem: the rule of 19H, so we have to spend two days instead of one as we had thought.
I wonder if I'm to do evil, or times are correct?
The places where I see are these:
Rail.cc: [u]https://rail.cc/pt/interrail/barcelona-para-madrid[/u]
Renfe: [ux]http://www.renfe.com/viajeros/[/ux]
Thank you all

Hi,

Not sure about which day you are going.. but at least the following is true for all day:
The HOT train that will go in the direction of Portugal (transfer at Coimbra-B) leaves at 21:50 from Madrid-Chamartin.

For the rest it depends on the day you'll travel for the schedules of Barcelona-Madrid. The AVE trains only go to Madrid- Puerta de Atocha, so you'll need an alternative way of transportation between the 2 stations. The train you mention (railcc link) arrives at 22:00 in Madrid Chamartin - so thats not an option.

Hi Luis!

I dont know for which date you are looking, but there is definitely a AVE train leaving Barcelona at 1900, arriving Madrid at 2200.
Keep in mind that connections listed here on rail.cc are example timings only and that you always should look for connections in an online schedule planner, for example [ux]http://plan.rail.cc/[/ux]

Anyway, you cannot use the 1900-rule for this trip: the 1900-rule only applies for [b]direct[/b] night trains which you board after 1900 and leave after 0400 the following morning. It is not possible to change trains between 1900 and 0400!

Also, half an hour would be very little time to get from Puerta de Atocha station (where the AVE arrives) to Chamartin station (where the night train leaves).

We are official partners of interrail.eu - to support the free information and the forum on railcc, please be fair and buy your official Interrail pass via our railcc partner link: [ux]https://rail.shop/interrail[/ux]
Thank you! :)

Hello,

I thank all the answers. The day I want to leave Barcelona is on 29 July (Saturday).

I have only one question:
- To leave Barcelona at 14: 00h, arrived at Madrid at 17:10 and then leave Madrid at 21:50 to arrive at the port at 07:45, counts how many days, 1 or 2?

I thank the attention.

You're welcome.

That would count as two days.
