Getting the train from Bayonne

Time of past OR future Camino

I am starting my Camino next week. Flying to Biarritz in wed and staying overnight in Bayonne I will have to get the train from Bayonne to SJPDP. I want to know is there plenty of trains going to SJ. And is it (stupid question) easy enough to get the ticket. I've never been in a train since I was a child and I know things change Any advice will be most welcome.

There are generally four trains a day from Bayonne to SJPdP. The station is small and the staff are helpful and used to tourists as well as pilgrims. You can buy your TER line 62 ticket to SJPfP either from a machine or a live clerk. No need to book ahead since the seats are not reserved.

The current trains Bayonne to SJPdP are at 07:45, 11:10, 14:55, and 18:06. Journey time is roughly 1 hour.

Bon voyage and Buen camino!
 
More 2024 Camino Guides available
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Hello
Just to let you know you can get a local bus from just outside Biarritz airport terminal straight to Bayonne for 1 euro.
Also it's worth popping into the railway station at Bayonne when you arrive to make sure the trains are running to schedule as there have been a number of strikes over the past few months which have led to cancellations.
But don't worry because even if there is a strike there are replacement buses to St Jean.
The journey down to SJPDP is lovely.
Safe travels and Buen Camino!
 
Hi
I have just checked with the cab service to SJPDP as I fly into Biarritz at 1705 hours (as concerned that I would not get to SJPDP by 2000 hours by bus and train). The cab service quoted 84€ (for a solo traveller ) which is exorbitant but gets cheaper when more people share the journey. So I have bought another palne ticket to fly into Biarritz the day before at noon (much cheaper than 84€ and will stay another night at SJPDP to enjoy this little Pyrenees village which has been praised much enough on this forum!

Buen Camino Vicky!
