This is very helpful. En El Camino is in Boadilla, 5.8 km from Fromista. I'll ask the hospitaliero ahead of time if he can organize a cab for the 9:36 train, but if not, I could get on the road at 7:30 and walk--or simply pay a cab to Palencia. That albergue has meaning for me, a dear friend...
I need to take the train from Fromista to Madrid on Saturday October 20. Are Saturday schedules different, or will the 12:09 train leave as usual? Does someone have practical experience taking the train from Fromista? Or is there also a bus to Madrid?
I got in touch with Bourricot and will get out 13 minutes later in Biarritz instead of Bayonne. The company said it's easier to fill the bus with people arriving at the airport. I feel really excited now, doing my preparations.
Actually, as I arrive in Bayonne at 16:48, and the Pension Beilari has its pilgrim's dinner at 19:30, while the train arrives 19:31 and then I still have to walk from the train to the Pension. I hate getting there late for the communal meal. What is the experience with a shared taxi (Bourricot)...
It seems the site won't give a schedule for Fall yet, but if the same trains run as now, then it should be OK. I'll be in the same situation on October 5, trying to take the 18:30 train to St Jean.
