Peru Rail's website is dodgy - sometimes it seems to just stop working for no good reason - and they're customer service is even worse, being the only major operator on the line seems to give them a sense they don't actually need to care about customers.

You probably want to try and head back with the same company but you can try www.incarail.com or www.machupicchutrain.com who also operate train services from Machu Picchu, they're just not as frequent.

Hope you manage to organise something.

Okay, I waited for the website to come up again, and it did.... I have now booked both my trains, printed out the tickets, and I'm ready to go!

I had a personal e-mail from someone at Peru Rail also. I appreciated this.

I used my "Verified by Visa" card to purchase with no problems. If anyone would like to get "verified," it's a website called Verified by Visa. (Just Google "Verified by Visa" and it will come up.) You enter your information, a password, and you are set. (This is a USA site only, as far as I can tell.)

I think it is well worth it to do so, as I have found it required in many countries while traveling.
