Apparently after recent bad weather there is a problem, the land beneath rail tracks has become unstable in places. Yesterday I read that until further notice there will be a bus replacing this train service to SJPP.

It happens very regularly. The track is repaired; then it washes out. Buses will leave from the train station on the regular schedule.

When a bus replaces the train the train ticket serves as the bus ticket.

Yes, using a bus replacement service is very straightforward especially at smaller train stations. I just wanted to warn anyone who might be puzzled when greeted with "aujourd'hui il n'y a pas de train".

Note that the schedule indicates a bus. March was the earliest that the track bed was going to be fixed, and it does not look like that happened.

Darn!!! I had to take the bus in 2014, and as a train freak . . . errrr I mean 'enthusiast' I was looking forward to taking the train on the 24th of this month.

Perhaps the repairs will be finished by then. ( fingers crossed )

It is a lovely train ride. In 2012 we did the journey in both directions.

Thanks all for this information. I'm travelling from Bayonne to SJPDP in early April. Just having this as a 'heads up' is ideal for a solo walker with no sense of direction...!
