Default Madrid to Pamplona in July?

Bus, train or rental car is best for 2 travelling together?
The Spanish rail site does not show current schedules. It stops on June
11. Why is that?

Try the German rail website.

http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en

I even use it for british trains as it is usually more uptodate and has more
detailed information.

I think you are being unfair to the Network rail site.
It is now every bit as good as the German one (for UK trains)
and the German one is most definately not more up to date as it
never includes the weekend engineering changes (quite why
the UK has weekend engineering changes that aren't scheduled
at the start of the timetable period is another matter)

and has more detailed information.


try obtaining a route for "with bicycle" and you'll see that this
isn't correct.

Finally, FWIT the actual route calculation engine is the same
it's just the database and the GUI that different.

Yes, I agree. www.nationalrail.co.uk is very good now, and there's even
a Widget for Mac OS X Tiger users! Good WAP access too- on your mobile,
you can find things like departures and arrivals from the stations close
to where you (and your mobile!) are.

I obviously use the German website for European enquiries, but another
very useful thing is their WAP site.

http://mobile.bahn.de

English option there too, and live information for German trains, and
timetables for Europe. I found this indispensable on a recent trip to
Berlin- found out I'd missed my train to the airport, so took a cab
instead!

If you are talking running of the bulls you need to think far beyond what
the Spanish rail site shows, and start digging into google-group archives
and dedicated websites about how to experience/survive the event with any
measure of access, comfort, safety, sleep, medical care and/or survival.
