UK Route timings:

Madrid <-> Cáceres matrix

These are based on times for dates at the end of May for Madrid Puerta de Atocha (where I assume we'll all pass through no matter where we're coming from at earlier points) to Cáceres, and back again. Please note that TALGO trains start and arrive from Madrid Chamartin' station but also stop in Puerta de Atocha. As reaching Chamartin from the airport is easier than reaching Atocha you might want to consider this as well. Night trains (trenhotel) start and arrive in Chamartin and do not stop in Atocha.

Bookings for regional trains are not available more than 15 days in advance; however the Talgo trains are open for booking already. Use the timetable feature on renfe.es (Horarios) to get information about which trains are running; you can book out and return separately.

The price of one-way Talgo tickets is 12-30€, while Trenhotel is about 15-40€.
