I've posted a couple of times on the Spain forum concerning my inability to purchase train tickets for several journeys in October 2018. I've tried the RENFE site, loco2.com and trainline.eu to no avail. I want to purchase tickets on the AVE or AVANT trains between Barcelona and Zaragoza for October 20. Since I could not make a booking on the RENFE site I tried loco2.com and trainline.eu but, again, no AVE or AVANT trains shown. I'm aware of the 62 day policy for advance booking, but October 20 is 56 days from today (August 26). I've also attempted to book tickets for Zaragoza to Madrid for October 21 but with no success. I have, however, booked tickets from Madrid to Seville for October 24. What's up with the trains on October 20 and 21?

Patience. Renfe is erratic with the 62 day policy. Sometimes trains show up well before that, sometimes they only appear 2-3 weeks ahead. Just keep an eye on the website every couple of days.
