I wish to take my friends (7 of us) from Lecce to Roma 21 June 2018 returning 23 June 2018. I can\'t find a train leaving Lecce. It seems only Flixbus. I know there is an important station there and I have tried all sites to book but can\'t. Do we have to bus to Brindisi or Bari? Can someone help me with this route please? Also do we need to book now, or can we just purchase when we get there?

Hi and welcome to railcc!
It is too early to book for mid/end of June or later. Trenitalia (Italian Railways) have their bookings open only until mid June.
You can expect a similar schedule to now during the summer, so trains you find now on [ux]https://rail.shop/trenitalia[/ux] or [ux]https://rail.shop/omio[/ux] or [ux]https://rail.shop/acprail/trenitalia[/ux] will run in summer too - no need to travel by bus. ;)
Anyway I would recommend to book in advance since it will be cheaper (there are three types of prices: Super Economy, Economy and Base). Super Economy and Economy have limited options for refund and exchange wil Base is the standard fare which is available also on the day of departure (as long as seats are available).
