Fast Trains in December

Planning to travel to Madrid in late December, and hoping to take the fast train to Toledo, Cordoba, Granada and back to Madrid. Unfortunately, on Trainline there appears to be no fast trains available. However, the Alsa coach is recommended with slightly longer travel times.

Are the fast trains not operating in December? Are the ALSA coaches a good alternative option?

Would also like to know what Christmas Day would be like in Cordoba.

Thanks in advance.

Trains operate year-round. Timetables are (normally) announced 90 days in advance for fast trains and 60 days for non-fast trains.

I just simulated a purchase MAD-COR on Xmas Day, and there are plenty of options (as of today).

Buses are always a great alternative to trains, and much preferred over the train by locals in many routes. Safest, clean, cheap, efficient and frequent.
