Hello togehter!
We are planning to do a Interrail journey. Therefore we have to travel from Paris to Barcelona. We are travelling direct with the Train RSC 9711 Renfe SNCF Cooperation which departs at 7:15AM and arrives at 01:34PM.
First, i did not find this train in the train list of rail.cc but all reservations are about 34€ so i think this one is also about 34€. Anyway, i was looking up this train at en.voyages-sncf.com
I did choose reservation only and i selected Global Pass on season ticket, but I only get offers around 99€.
Does this reservation really costs 99€ or is it the ticket + reservation.
Is it possible to buy a reservation for 6 people also 1 day in advance on the train station or is this to late?

Hi.
The EUR 99 is a ticket including a reservation.
As you travel with the Interrail pass, you only need the reservation for EUR 34. Read here for details: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/tgv-france-espana/298[/u]
The reservation is available at stations in Spain or France.
One day in advance with six persons: you will need a lot of luck to get the reservations. I would say: not possible.

Other alternative route...
From Barcelona to Latour de Carol [u]https://rail.cc/en/latour-de-carol/c[/u] by local train (free with Interrail).
And from Latour de Carol to Paris by night train (available for online booking): [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-night-train/latour-de-carol-paris-icn-3980/75[/u]

In Latour de Carol, the Little Yellow train starts - see blog below.

Hi,

"RSC" is the designation used for the international TGV and AVE services between Spain and France; you find the details about these trains here: [ux]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/tgv-france-espana/298[/ux]

Reservations are available online however only on the UK version of Voyages SNCF website; the 2nd class reservation is 30 GBP = 34€.

During summer season I wouldn\'t bet on getting six reservations for these trains on the day before you travel.
