Can someone tell me how to get to the El Camino trail from the train station in Pamplona?

Probably just by asking and walking. It is not far. The station is down on the flat, and the nearest intersection point with the Camino is across the river and up inside the city walls. Which you want to visit anyway! If you look on Google maps you will see two circular gardens in the middle of Pamplona - the camino runs roughly across the one that is marked on my map as Jardins de la Taconera. People will help you find it. If I was clever enough I'd take a screen shot with a mud map drawn on it - but I'm not.
 
Def take time to have a walk about Pamplona,wonderful city and as Kanga said the route is easy to find.

Pamplona old city is up a 30 meter hill, surrounded by a Roman Wall, from the train station. The yellow path will bring you into the city via the old roman gate. There is also an underground escalator that will bring you up the hill to the old city, Ascensor Urbano de Descalzo, marked by the brown path. 30 feet inside the old city gate is the Albergue Casa Ibarrola. Pamplona is worth an extra day. Buen Camino.

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
And by the way, it is El Camino which means "the Road."
If you say the "El Camino" you are saying the the Road.
Or for those of us who know "the Road" as "the Camino" . . .
Just sayin' :)

Thanks! you are RIGHT!
I corrected it.
But since most people know the "road" as the "Camino" . . .

A lot of people just use Camino, it's more handy! I, while walking on Spanish sites, use the name of El Camino when applicable. :D

I've completed your map, if you don't mind.

The red line is the Camino path.

The blue line is the quickest way to get into the path if you want to start walking after arriving.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
