What a great Idea, I have just sent them a message
i was going to take a bus but met 3 other pilgrims on the train from madrid so we split the 90 euro fare 4 ways...I am starting on 1st march and need travel from Pamplona to st Jean, I cannot seem to find any 2016 timetables online or any companies, any help appreciated. It is also possible that I can use Madrid to St Jean if anyone knows any bus companies

Once in Bayonne, go to the train station and continue to SJPP with the SNCF (www.sncf.com).

The page is there, but the link above contains more than the URL, so does not work.This link has gone missing.
Also, as far as I can make out from the Spanish, you can only buy a ticket in Pamplona, i.e. not online. The online link to buy tickets doesn't accept St Jean as destination.
If there are any fluent Spanish speakers reading this, confirmation of what the website is saying would be appreciated.
Last year there was 3 buses from Pamploona to St Jean, I took the 1st at 10am from the main bus station, just google it, have a great camino.I am starting on 1st march and need travel from Pamplona to st Jean, I cannot seem to find any 2016 timetables online or any companies, any help appreciated.

Are you sure? I am actually starting from San Sebastián but with that as Origen, I cannot get St Jean to come up as a Destino on either Nacionales o Internacionales. St Jean is not on the listado for either. What am I doing wrong? This is the link I'm usingThe link doesn't say you can buy a ticket just in Pamplona but that tickets to SJPP are sold just out of Pamplona, Soria, Zaragoza and San Sebastián. If you start at any other city/town like, for example, Madrid or Barcelona, you have to make two separate bookings:
Saint Jean de Pied de Port is accepted as destination but you have to be on the Nacionales (Nationals) tab; not on the Internationales (International) tab.

EDITED: Turns out to be the wrong link. See my later post below.
The link I gave above was wrong. I booked the ticket starting from this link:

After reading your post, you got me considering your suggestion to take taxi to Roncesvalles, staying overnight and returning from STPDP with just a day pack. I think it's brilliant. Ever since I booked to do the Camino, I have been worried about the Napoleon Pass. You classify it as very difficult. Coming from someone from Denver, you are scaring me! How bad was it?The easiest ride is to hire is Teletaxi san Fermi (http://www.taxipamplona.com/comparte_en.php)...the cost from Pamplona Airport to Roncesvalles is 60 Euros or from Pamplona Airport to SJPDP is 105 Euros...but you can share the ride and expense with any other Pilgrims traveling to either of these desitinations...also there is a bus that will take you from Pamplona to Roncesvalles for cheap but you have to travel to the main bus station first (http://www.gomarbella.com/pamplona/pamplona-to-roncesvalle-bus-timetable.htm)...I recommend traveling to Roncesvalles and staying a night then the next day hire a ride to SJPDP and climb back over the Pyrenees mountains with a minimal daypack leaving the bulk of your backpack weight at your accommodation in Roncesvalles for the pick-up on the return trip...I am enclosing a map of the Camino trails from SJPDP over the Pyrenees Mountains to Roncesvalles and a plan of Roncesvalles...personally I did not feel connected to the Camino until I arrived in Roncesvalles and attended the Pilgrim Blessing Service at the Cathedral...my experience on the Route of Napoleon was very difficult so I recommend minimal daypack with plenty of trail food and water and it will take a full day to cross the Pyrenees Mountains.
