yes it prompts you with the city you may be spelling incorrectly....Just checking - are you spelling Bilbao correctly in your searches?
Yes there is. SNCF just hasn't posted the schedule yet, because it is too soon. Their policy is to release tickets 90 ahead of time, but IME its rarely on time. Patience, grasshopper, and the train schedule will appear like magic.but there seems to be no train to SJPDP from Hendaye or Bayonne.
I realise that now....we will be arriving at lunch time on saturday the 9th, but if there is a daily bus we may miss that. Difficult to change dates now, although i guess not impossibleThe bus from the Bilbao airport to the Bilbao bus station runs every 30 minutes or so.
The Flixbus from Bilbao to Biarritz/Bayonne is only once daily. (I did look at Rome2Rio and I have never heard of and/or used Blablabus and have no idea where they operate from.)
A bus to San Sebastian takes you to a fairly new terminal where there are buses and trains to France, that would probably be your best bet.
I believe the SCNF track between Bayonne and SJPdP was washed out in the storms last month but they always offer an alternate bus connection when that happens.
You realize the weekend you are traveling is Palm Sunday.
This doesn't answer your question but you could walk the Camino Baztan from Bayonne to Pamplona bypassing SJPdP if you think it would be a shame to start in St. Jean again.i can bus to Bayonne from Bilbao, but there seems to be no train to SJPDP from Hendaye or Bayonne. It seems a waste to start via Pamplona again.
That happens a lot. I've travelled that route four times: twice by train and twice on a replacement bus service.I believe the SCNF track between Bayonne and SJPdP was washed out in the storms last month but they always offer an alternate bus connection when that happens.
The schedules are not available until closer to the travel date. So, one will show up eventually.Hi everyone. we are booked to fly into Bilbao from South Africa on the 8th of April 2022. this is my 3rd camino. the first 2 times I flew into Madrid and then trained/flew to Pamplona and then bussed to SJPDP. this time, I thought we could start and end in Bilbao; bus to Irun/hendaye and then train to SJPDP. I had researched this route the first time I booked for this Camino in June 2019... and a few times after this as I rebooked and rebooked. Now it seems there isn't a way to do this. i can bus to Bayonne from Bilbao, but there seems to be no train to SJPDP from Hendaye or Bayonne. It seems a waste to start via Pamplona again. Any words of wisdom? Will things change before April? Is the train discontinued? Thanks!
As others have been posting, it is too early for Sncf train timetables and the train service seems to be disrupted and is being replaced by a Sncf bus service at this moment. ALSA operate a direct coach service from Bilbao Intermodal - the bus station, to Baiona (Bayonne) for 9€ single. It leaves at 18.00 and arrives at 21.00. Overnight in Bayonne then SJPDP the next day.Hi everyone. we are booked to fly into Bilbao from South Africa on the 8th of April 2022. this is my 3rd camino. the first 2 times I flew into Madrid and then trained/flew to Pamplona and then bussed to SJPDP. this time, I thought we could start and end in Bilbao; bus to Irun/hendaye and then train to SJPDP.

I have just noticed you are arriving on the 9th at lunch time. The same time and price is available.
SNCF have FINALLY fixed the bug in their interactive timetable for trains from Bayonne to SJPP after March 15, 2022.there is a technical disfunction of their online timetable for the line Bayonne-SJPP for travelling times from the end of March onwards. They said that it will be fixed.
thank you so much. xSNCF have FINALLY fixed the bug in their interactive timetable for trains from Bayonne to SJPP after March 15, 2022.
You can now consult departure and arrival times for the next three months, i.e. from today (Feb 4) until May 3 right now.
There are usually four connections every day and it is still the same as reported by a forum member who travelled in November 2021: TER train from Bayonne to Cambo-les-Bain, then change to a waiting TER bus until SJPP.
