Many thanks and much appreciated    Report

EDIT : Just gave it a go and it works a treat. Healthcare Issues Site    Report

Am i missing something [apart from brain cells before anyone else chips in]!    Report

I agree - it is very frustrating. RENFE appears to operate the line, but although they accept Puigcerda as a destination, Latour and Foix do not come up anywhere on their web pages.  When I have railway problems I find my local SNCF shop very helpful indeed.  Do you have one near you?
