- Train Destination - in this case to the Sevilla Train
Station, Santa Justa (SJ).
- (25.10)
in the "Fecha" column is the
date, October 25.
- (10.05)
in "Hora Salida" column is the
time the train is leaving, 10:05 AM.
- (13.18)
Note the "Hora
de llegada." This
is the arrival time of the train in
Sevilla, 1:18 PM.
- "Altaria",
RENFE doesn't even provide an English
translation for their definition for
"Altaria" trains. I suspect"Altaria" describes a Talgos that
runs on a specific route. In this case,
the Talgo runs on the same route as the
AVE train to Sevilla but makes a few
stops along the way, consequently the
"Altaria" designation.
(Talgos
are the fastest trains and only stop at
the major cities.)
- COCHE (17),
N. PLAZA (9A) means train car number 17 in seat number
9A.
- "No
Fuma" - A nonsmoking
car.
Did you notice the
"CONSERVSE PARA LA VUELTA, VALIDEZ
DE REGRESO: 60 DIAS" notice at the
top of the ticket? Show your used ticket when you
