What is the best way to go from Ponferada to Tricastela- or alternatively straight to Sarria? Can’t find bus info

On this forum people are likely to answer that walking is the best way

Quick searches on google maps and Rome2Rio haven't given any public transport options from Ponferrada to Triacastela. There are bus and train options from Ponferrada to Saria.
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Renfe.com is the website for national train system for spain. They have a couple of trains per day directly non stop from Ponferrada to Sarria which takes abt. 2 1/4 hrs. Renfe is not always the easiest website to puchase from. You could also try Loco2.com to purchase from if you want to buy in advance.

You can take a bus from Ponferrada to Pedrafita do Cebriero on Alsa.com There is a local bus twice a day from There that makes several stops that goes to Triacastela ( do not remember the name of the company). Monbus.es., has an early morning bus between Triacastela and Sarria.

I was just there 2 weeks ago and took a taxi to OCebreiro from trabadelo. It is a easy walk down. The Young Man at the albergue arranged the taxi. I forget what it cost maybe 30 Euro.
