RENFE discontinued the overnight train from Santiago de Compostela to Madrid

I posted it yesterday on another thread but I thought it was a good idea to make a thread for it on its own to increase visibility of a relevant piece of info.

Since February 1st, there isn't anymore an overnight train from Santiago de Compostela to Madrid (and v.v.) due to a change of the route of the overnight train heading to A Coruña that doesn't go through Santiago de Compostela anymore (now it goes through Lugo and continues to Ferrol after reaching A Coruña). You can still take an overnight train to Madrid from A Coruña and from Ourense (two different branches of the same train that are joined later in Monforte de Lemos) what might be an option if you don't bother to change trains along the route (or to make a mix of bus and overnight train) but be aware it doesn't arrive to Madrid till 09:25 a.m. and it doesn't run on Saturdays.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

Hello, thank you for this information and where can I find out more about RENFEs timetable changes? I am planning to travel to Ferrol from Madrid this April to walk the English Way but have not been able to book tickets yet as their website says they are not available.
Thanks
John

I am able to get timetable information (Madrid to Ferrrol) up to 3 April 2016 ... one week past Easter. The schedule would normally be updated by now ... I don't know why it has not been ... try again in a week or so.
