Trains to/from A Coruna
I’m finding conflicting information on the internet. Is there an efficient way to travel by train between A Coruna and Porto? One site described a transfer in Vigo, but I can’t find a way to book that route and think it probably no longer exists.

The A Coruna Medio Distancia trains arrive at Vigo-Urzáiz railway station (you can walk to Guixar station in about 15 mins, mainly downhill). Regional trains from A Coruna go to Vigo-Guixar.
Tickets can be bought from renfe.es, but not as one ticket. You have to buy A Coruna - Vigo and Vigo - Porto separately.

I belive you may have to change train stations in Vigo. Check renfe's site - you can also buy tickets there. You'll probably need to buy two separate tickets.
Note that there is busstitution on the Spanish part of the Celta train line on a few days in March.

Thanks both! You helped me figure it out. Apparently I made two mistakes. 1) Google maps isn't showing the Vigo to Porto train for some reason (only shows buses). 2) I tried booking on Renfe too far in advance. In any case, lessons learned. I appreciate the help!
