Because of all the disruption I have no reservations for Portugal, and would like to cycle to Elvas 🇵🇹 and get these before returning to Badajoz to take the train.

It's 80-20% chance I will be in Badajoz on time to do this.

Is there anyone on Fedi who might be able to help?

(Every trainset when entering a tunnel or other changes of air pressure or sth like that).

Admittedly, didn't get the chance to try the Talgos yet.

And for night trains adding a second person is easy. The only headache was really with SNCF reservations, where there was no way to end up being sat together as I didn't book everything together.

Why start somewhere and choose the virtuous circle when you can just glide into the vicious circle instead? 🤡
