Renfe Media Distancia

I'm hoping to travel my train to Jerez next month but the Renfe website as viewed from UK is not showing any MD trains. Have these services been cut or have I missed a post on this topic?

Where are you travelling from? I looked on the Renfe site for a random date in mid March (a Monday) and it showed two services from Sevilla Santa Justa to Jerez de la Frontera.

I am sure there used to be more but maybe the frequency was reduced due to the pandemic, it happened a lot and with bus services too.

Yes, that's right Free at Last. I am hoping to travel agaain from Sevilla Santa Justa to Jerez de la Frontera. I planned another journey last month and I'm sure there were more trains. In the end to avoid hanging around for connections and as I was not travelling alone I just hired a car as it was cheaper and more convenient . This worked out well as I was allocated a Fiat 500 Dolcevita with 6kms on the clock . Normally I get given the demolition derby cars! I do wonder what is going on at Renfe though...

Anyone know how far in advance you can book these days ?
I am hoping to travel from Seville to Lebrija in mid May !

Out here in the sticks (Extremadura) it's actually easier to go in person to the train station and buy the tickets — which I know is not always possible. The Renfe site is a bit haphazard. They have a habit of only releasing blocks of tickets for journeys to a fairly tight timetable and then only going via a set route. Tying to book a long time in advance is not usually successful.

Problem is, that is the time I shall be flying in to Seville. I would be happier if I had booked the train tickets to travel on in advance. Will try nearer the time of course.
