Hi,
I have Cocker Spaniel, he is kind smallish, not big. He weights between 10 to 11 kg. I\'m wondering if he is allowed to travel on Sud Express (NIGHT TRAINS ) from LISBON to HENDAYE. How often does the train run and how much is pet\'s ticket.

Thank you!

Hi and welcome to railcc!

The conditions for travelling with dogs on the Sud Express according to CP (Portuguese Railways):

O transporte de animais de companhia até aos 10 kg, só é permitido em carruagem-cama, sempre que o compartimento seja vendido na totalidade, em regime familiar. Os animais deverão ser transportados como volume de mão, em recipiente apropriado e que disponha de dispositivo que permita guardar e retirar dejetos, não podendo as suas dimensões exceder 60X35X35 cm. Podem ser transportados no máximo dois animais por compartimento. O preço do transporte é de 30 €.

This means that you could take the dog with you in a sleeping car but would have to book the full compartment (you cannot travel together with other travellers).
I dont know about travelling in regular 2nd class seat; I would recommend to contact CP directly.

The night train runs every day: [ux]https://rail.cc/blog/night-train-irun-madrid-lisbon/[/ux]
