Hi all,
I have read that it is possible to take assembled bicycles on the train from Saint Jean Pied-de-Port to Bayonne. Can anybody please confirm this for me?
Also: is it possible to buy a ticket at the train station the afternoon before or must we book in advance (difficult from South Africa as all rail websites seem to be in French?)
Any info will be much appreciated.
Regards,
Marie
Mairie,
The TER train line 62 connects SJPdP to Bayonne. It is indeed possible to take an assembled bike on the route SJPdP to Bayonne and vice versa.
(Transport gratuit des bicyclettes dans tous les trains Ter Aquitaine dans la stricte limite des emplacements prévus à cet effet et sous
votre entière responsabilité.) You can buy your ticket in the train station for this route. No advance booking is necessary. Will you go to Bayonne from SJPdP or from Bayonne to SJPdP ?
