Sahagun correspondence between train and bus

Does anyone have an idea if an Alsa bus will wait till a certain Renfe train arrives?

For instance Renfe train arrives at 16.45 h in Sahagun. Only bus from Sahagun to Carrion de los Condes on that specific day leaves at 16.45h.Must say that both stations are ( if google maps are to be trusted ) close to each other.

Does someone have experience with these kind of timetables?

In my experience - not. Sorry, two completely different companies/systems and they don't have any communication system established between them. Buen Camino, SY

PS There might be the occasional compassionate bus driver that waits, but I wouldn't really count on that ...

Hi, Sabine,
I wouldn't count on catching that bus. This summer I made the same plan and missed the bus. Tried to hitchhike "backwards" on Camino to CdlC to meet a friend but had no luck for 3 hours. It was already late and as I was heading into the center of Sahagun I saw a taxi parked inside opened garage of one of the houses on the righthand side (on the Camino: https://www.google.si/maps/place/Ta...84d835a5c!8m2!3d42.3711482!4d-5.0243857?hl=sl). The driver already finished for the day but I negotiated the ride for 30€.

Bus stop in Sahagun is outside Hotel Puerta de Sahagun on Ctra.Burgos (https://www.google.si/maps/place/Ho...c9c94190e!8m2!3d42.3698671!4d-5.0202262?hl=sl) and easily accessible over the rail tracks, through the fence and to the right. You can't miss it.

Hope that helps a bit.
 
Cheers you lovely people!

Found the answer : Palencia it will be. Train arrives around 16h. Then two different buses from different companies, one at 18h and other 18.30. Will be a safer bet! Two hours to spend in Palencia..pretty sure I will find a cafeteria to keep me occupied.

You could try Renfe train Madrid to Palencia and Palencia to Fromista. Then taxi 20km from Fromista to Carrion de los Condes.
 
In 2012, when I stepped out of the train in Sahagun, there were 2 taxis waiting for customers in the front of the station.
I think I paid 25 € for the trip to Carrion...

Buen Camino, Jacques-D.
