I need help with some RENFE related info also if anyone knows how to direct me...The site is frustrating me!!
1. Madrid to Toledo: High speed Train...from what station? SOmeone was kind enough to post a time table a while back and cost but I don't recall what station it was from.
2. Madrid to Granada and back: Time table? I think I read there were two times. Again, what station?
Thanksfor any feedback! Tanja

Right now, 100% of the high-speed trains depart from Puerta de Atocha station. Toledo trains are high-speed, so...
There are two trains (Talgo) to Granada, one in the morning (dep 8:10a - arr 2:10p), and the other in the afternoon/evening (4:47p-10:50p). Both depart from Chamartin station, but stop at Atocha Cercanias, too.
Puerta de Atocha and Atocha Cercanias are two different stations, but located side by side, something similar to two terminals of the same airport. Both are accessible from Atocha Renfe metro station.
I agree that the Renfe Website is not the most user friendly and intuitive in the world, but I don't see so difficult to find schedules or the station from a train departs. When you are in the main English page, pick a departure and arrival city from the dropbox menus that are labelled with "Origin" and "Destination". You can choose a specific day or leave it as N/A to do a generic query. Press "Search". That's easy.
Once you get to the results page, there is a text just over the train data headers that says: To see the train's route schedule click on "Type of Train". Well, if you click on the type of train, a table with complete schedule of the selected train appears (one row per station where it departs, stops, or arrives; four columns, left to right: station code, station name, arrival time, departure time). Easy again.
I forgot to mention the return trains from Granada. Once you get the results for your query Madrid-Granada, there is alink at the bottom of the page that says: "Choose the train on the return route". Well, clicking on it we see that there are two Talgos from Granada to Madrid, too. 8a-2:06p the first one, and 5:10p-11:16p the second one.

A friend in Spain navigated the RENFE site and forwarded this info to me, I thought I'd share it with all of you who might need the same info to these destinations.

Thanks MadridMan for getting my post out there! Torrales, thanks for the detailed instructions on the site...I will try them tonight and see if I have luck. Even though I now have the info, it bugs me that I couldn't work the site!!
The trouble I was having was..after listing Madrid to either Granada or Toledo...it would come up with "No direct route"
Then I would try the station option underneath and I would get the same result. Now, I was listing specific dates and maybe it was too far out for the site to list them for me...who knows!! SO, I will try it with the suggestions you gave and hope to get the better of that bleepin site!!

I recently had a problem buying tickets for the Madrid-Granada route on the Renfe site. For whatever reason, it didn't list the direct route Talgo until about a month before my trip. It only listed the routes with train changes in Sevilla and Boadilla.
In the end, I just went to the travel agency in my neighborhood and bought the tickets, because I wanted to be sure to get a reserved spot (we were going during Semana Santa). It really is a beautful train ride, especially in the Spring.

You're welcome tclearyn3. After responding your post, I had a 'dejā-vu' feeling, like if I had responded the same thing a few days ago. And, actually, I did:
http://www.madridman.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=3;t=001524#000007
Please, check if your question has been asked before repeating it.

Like quite a few others in this thread, I wasn't able to register on the RENFE website, because I live outside Spain.
But when I e-mailed RENFE to ask about this, they told me that I didn't need to register to be able to buy a ticket online.
So I then tried to buy a ticket for my return journey from Barcelona to Spain in September it said that no tickets were available. How soon in advance of the journey will the site let you buy tickets?
