Book early and save: No

Tickets aren't discounted for this journey, so you will pay the same price as the that charged online, if you book last minute at the station.

However, booking in advance is recommended if you'll be making a day trip to Toledo from Madrid by train.
The most popular morning departures can sell out ahead of the travel date, particularly in summer.

Online bookings open: up to 6  months ahead of the travel date - depending on the time of year.
The online booking window can be shorter between late July and early October.

There can be gaps of two hours mins between departures, so if you do want to book tickets last minute at the station it's still worth looking up the departure times online, before you head over to Atocha station.
