bayonne to sjpdp, santiago to madrid and other questions

[eszterem1]

Hi Everyone,

I'd like to ask you about getting to sjpdp by the local train. Is it necessary to book a ticket in advance as I did from Paris to Bayonne or is that enough if I buy it on board or before getting on the train in Bayonne? If I need to book it, where can I do that? I can't find it, I only found the schedule.
And does anybody know anything about the price? I didn't find anything about that, either.

The other thing is about getting from Santiago to Madrid. What do you think about the bus? I found it the cheapest way. I know it's long but it doesn't matter.

I'm starting my journey on the 14th of June and I'm heading back to Hungary on the 15th from Madrid. I need to print my boarding card on route. Do you think it's possible?

Last question: do you think a spray against bedbugs would be useful?

Thanks a lot for answering!!!

Eszter,

The TER line 62 trains from Bayonne to SJPdP have NO reserved seats; the train is open seating similar to a tram or the metro. When it is busy people squeeze in and stand holding onto overhead straps. Reservations are NOT necessary. You can buy your ticket when you arrive at the Bayonne station from Paris. The price is roughly 10 Euros. You can also buy it in advance when you buy your regular ticket from Paris to Bayonne using the French SNCF site >> http://www.voyages-sncf.com/. If you do buy it in advance at least you won't have to stand in a line at the Bayonne ticket counter!

Bon Voyage and Buen Camino,

Margaret Meredith
