How Do You Get To Madrid By Train

If you go to San Isodro station near Catral you can pick up a timetable from the station. As far as I can remember, the Madrid train stops at certain stations along that route, possibly Orhuela or go onto the Renfa website. Otherwise you will need to get to Alicante.

Go to Alicante station if you are over 60 get yourself a RenfeTargeta Dorada it is a rail card and costs 5.50 euros but will save you much more than that. If you can afford it and it is only a few more euros go first class on the express, non stop very fast train. You can get everything you need on the internet or a good travel agent

Hi Robert

Gutted im 49 LOL
Is there a direct train to Madrid from Alicante and how long is the journey?

Thanks Eve but i couldn't find any info on the Renfa website

This might help - if you select date unknown and month not specified you'll see the journey times.

Thanks Sue

You used to be able to get your travel pass, for OAP.s, from San Isidro but I think it is automated ticketing there now.
