Ride share from Biarritz today (Apr 11, 2022) - trains cancelled.

[Suz11]

Hi, is anyone arriving at Biarritz today? Apparently the trains are cancelled from Bayonne to SJPP and two of us were hoping to taxi share. Or if someone had a better idea?
Many thanks

Have you tried Express Bourricott, they may have a taxi arriving later today that could help

We are arriving in Bayonne in about an hour....the sncf website says that they will still be running a bus to replace the train today, but it looks like a longer journey. Guess we'll get the real story at the station. If it really is four hours to bus, we might just pay for the taxi from Bayonne.

We are on the bus now. The website says four hours, and the woman in the station says 90 minutes. Guess I am going to find out who is right!

Either way, enjoy the scenery!

In 2017 arrived at train station to find it was being replaced by a bus—rains in the previous days had done some damage to the tracks. The bus still pulled in to every train stop to pick up or drop off passengers. All depends how important it is to you for a faster journey

When I was there in 2010, the train was cancelled but they had busses replacing the trains. The problem with the bus is that it stopped in each and every town it passed, often having to pull off of the highway and go into the central part of the towns/villages. I did not time it but it did seem to take forever. In 2018, I took the Express Bourricott. It was so much faster, the driver was very friendly, and it dropped you off right in the centre of SJ whereas the train leaves you on the edge of the city. You need to book with Express Bouricott in advance.

The woman in the station was right, just pulling in to town now, about an hour and twenty five minutes total. All is well.

Except when there is a French labor strike involved. It is intended that there be travel paralysis as much as possible.

This thread is a year old, so it will be closed. Labour strikes are not a rarity. The pilgrims starting out will find some sort of solutions.
