Buying European train tickets (not passes) before your trip?
I don't need a multi-day pass... I want a ticket on the overnight train from Madrid to Lisbon on a specific date.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to book this? I'd like to do it before I leave for my trip as I have heard these trains sell out quickly.
A quick google search turned up one or two companies that charge a huge premium, is this my only choice?
TIA!

What about booking them online, thats probably the cheapest, buying them in advance usually knocks the price down quite a bit
eta...but I don't know where. Sorry.

Aww you're killing me! I was looking at raileurope.com but it wasn't very good... Id like something to compare it to if there was another website out there...

It will be cheaper if you buy it over there. Is there a way you can call to an office over there to buy them? If not you can buy them at the above mentioned websites, but I don't know where you can get them cheap. Sorry.

Yeah that was what I was thinking... cheaper over there.. but I don't want to wait until we get there.
Anyone else have any tips?
