Arriving Biarritz/Bayonne on April 28 Getting to SJPDP

[SRM]

I am arriving by train in Biarritz/Bayonne about 4:00 pm on April 28th. I have reservations for the night in SJPDP and want to continue there on the 28th. Anyone arriving about the same time that would want to share transport with me. I think there is a van available for hire that will hold eight for $120 Euro.

I believe the train from Bayonne to St Jean leaves at about 6:00pm, arriving an hour and a half later.

Thank you, I hadn't been able to find/understand the schedule to SJPDP. I had also seen where there was a problem with the tracks between the two cities so I didn't know if if private transport would be the best option. If the tracks are open I would prefer the train and that should get me there in plenty of time for my reservation. Thank you again for the help. Stephen Buen Camino

Why bother - there's a direct train from Bayonne. At least, there used to be. Google satellite view seems to still show it.

For now, there exist the combination of train/bus from Bayonne to SJPdP due to work on rail. The ticket purchased at the train station in Bayonne also covers the transfer to the bus. This is a beautiful ride at about 11euro. Maybe takes an hour and a half. Have read only good reports of train/bus way.

You will have an incredible journey right from the start.

It is a train that connects to a bus midway. The journey time is the same. The track may be fixed by April.

"May be fixed by April" may be wishful thinking. The train/bus duo is listed on the TER 62 schedule until 4 July 2015.

I am going to pick up a few things in SJPDP that I can't fly with and get some food on the 29th. Also want to check weather so I can go Napoleon route if possible. I have room booked the 29th also just in case I need it. I have been hoping to meet some people to start the journey with the first day. Buen camino
