Yesterday I received confirmation that the 09:25 is also off-limits to bikes. :(
I'm certain when I looked into this last year bikes were OK, but the route ran along the north coast...
It looks like I'll now be taking my bike on the coach to Santander. [makes mental note to borrow a bike...
Thank you very much for your continued patience.
There are two trains leaving SdC on the day I have in mind. There first one is shown as ALVIA, which I know is a Larga Distancia route. The second departure is the one I'm interested in, details (including second leg from Palenciato Santader)...
Thank you, falcon269.
I had missed the ALSA information when I searched earlier. Very helpful.
As for RENFE, I've seen that text, but I'm not clear on how to tell the difference between AVE/Larga Distancia services and the Media Distancia and Cercanías services.
I'm fairly certain I read somewhere (here?) that there was no problem taking bikes on trains from Santiago to Santander (via Palencia). I've just had an email from the RENFE agent in London saying no bikes permitted between Santander and Palencia.
I know bikes aren't allowed on long distance...
As mentioned elsewhere, I plan to cycle from the UK to Santiago this summer. Having gone that far it would be silly not to carry on to Finisterre.
I should be able to cycle form Santiago to Finisterre in a day and still have time to look around, etc. Ideally, I'd like to get back to Santiago...
