Hi All just saw extreme weather for Madrid. I assume trains are still running.

1. We are looking to get the train from Madrid-Barajas Airport to Leon

Does anybody have any links?
Can we get a train from the airport?

Arriving in a few days
Thanks

Hi Brendan
Flying in from Oz, you’ll land at MAD T4S -
You’ll go to T4. From there (T4 airport) you will get the train to Chamartín. Trains to Léon (or northerly ) leave from there.
At T4 there is an information office for the trains if you’re confused on arrival. (I used them in 2020 making alternate Covid plans 🤪)

Also direct from T4 you can get an Alsa bus to LĂ©on.

So you’ve got choices.

Buen camino.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

First one in 1977 by train. Many since then by foot. Next one ASAP.
Multiple daily 4-hour ALSA bus trips direct from MAD Terminal 4 to Leon centro. Cheap and very comfortable. No awkward shuttling to train stations required. Doesn't get any easier or lower-stress than that!
