Trains or Buses from Biarritz airport to St Jean Pied de Por

Two of my friends and I are planning on travelling from Paris to St Jean Pied de Port to start a trek on May 9th.

My current plan is to fly from Paris on May 8th to Biarritz after which I would take a bus or train to SJPP. The difficulty I'm having is conflicting information regarding buses or trains from Biarritz to Bayonne and onto SJPP. I can't seem to find a scheduled train from Bayonne or a bus schedule. I understand there is some rail work currently underway on the Bayonne to SJPP route. Is anyone aware if the work will be completed or where I can access a train or bus schedule for this time period?

The closest airport to SJPdP is Biarritz/Anglet/Bayonne (BIQ). See Service/Access and Parking/Access for transportation information.
http://en.biarritz.aeroport.fr/

Take the local bus #14 from the doors of BIQ to Gare de Bayonne. The bus ride takes about 40 minutes.

Gare de Bayonne. See the picture so you recognize where to get off the bus.

Catch SNCF TER train #62 from Gare de Bayonne to SJPdP. You cannot reserve a seat. Sometimes the train is replaced with a bus ... such as when tracks are under maintenance.

As of June 2015, the train track between Bayonne and SJPP is still out due to damage from a storm a couple years back. The current estimate is that the track will be repaired by October of this year. In the meantime, the train has been replaced by a bus, which leaves at the same times listed for the train. The journey takes approximately the same amount of time, too.
