In both cases, you will leave from the Estación del Norte in Valencia and will arrive to the Puerta de Atocha station in Madrid.
It should be noted that trains leaving at first and last hour on weekdays are usually full, so it is a good advice to buy tickets in advance. This is especially important on trains that depart in the early hours of Monday and late on Friday.
