I was in Bayonne a couple of days ago, and noticed that the train line to St Jean is currently blocked by landslip caused by heavy rainfall 'until further notice'. Substitute bus with revised times

these press reports are all jumping the gun, as they've not even started selling tickets yet http://www.iberiaexpress.com/en/
Not sure how this fits in with Vueling, as the CEO - who happens to be called Gallego - is also Vueling's chief operating officer. :?
Railway Gazette reports on this here http://www.railwaygazette.com/index.php ... s%5D=14536
AIUI, the high-speed connection with Portugal is currently on hold due to Portugal's budget difficulties.
yes, that's how I read it too. Not over till the fat lady (in this case, the Xunta) sings. Ryanair's business model depends on flying to less-used, i.e. cheaper, airports, and having those flights subsidised in some way to make them viable. I can imagine they are rather an annoying company to...
they're actually still there, just under generic airports called 'London', 'Paris', and 'Galicia'

with bus, you would probably have to change in Zamora, or possibly go to Orense and then back again.
Vueling have added flights from Edinburgh to both Corunna and Vigo on their website http://www.vueling.com/ though it looks like you can't actually book any dates at present.
Perhaps this is planned for next year?
2015 according to Wikipedia http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alta_Veloc ... a%C3%B1ola
tho I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's put back further, given Spain's budgetary tightening.
not sure there's not some garbling of press releases here. According to the article in La Voz 10 days ago http://www.lavozdegalicia.es/coruna/201 ... 245974.htm this discount is for journeys between Santiago and Corunna, to encourage those visiting Santiago during Holy Year to make a side-trip...
