Trainline has announced a deal with Ouigo España to
add the SNCF-owned rail operator’s Spanish high-speed rail services to its booking
platform.
The services, which launched in May, run ten times a day between Madrid and Barcelona in two hours 30
minutes with additional stops in Zaragoza and Tarragona. Fares start at €9.
Trainline will
also power Ouigo España’s Flex ticket option, available for a €7 upgrade fee,
which allows customers to make unlimited changes to their travel dates up to 30
minutes before their booked train's departure.
The service offers double-decker trains, on-board entertainment,
internet connection and an onboard cafeteria. The services also offer a Plus option,
which gives more legroom, a greater luggage allowance and access to a premium
entertainment system.
