Hi RoseIm flying into Biarritz next Wed 28th Aug at about 3.20pm and need to find out how to get to SJPDP. Ive read to bus to Bayonne and then catch a train there to St Jean.
Has anyone does this recently in the afternoon and are there enough buses/trains to catch at that time of the day? Where would I find train times? Thanks for your help.
Rose,
Take an airport bus to Bayonne rr station (Gare SNCF) and then a TER Ligne 62 train from Bayonne to SJPdP. There is a TER train at 18:07; that is the last train for Wed. 28/08. See this TER schedule for more info. >> http://telechargement.ter-sncf.com/Images/Aquitaine/Tridion/62-AFFICHE-2013_26_août_14_déc_28_06_13_tcm-11-42307.pdf. The ticket to SJPdP costs roughly 10 euros and the journey time 1 1/2 hours. Seating is open as on a metro or tram.
Once you arrive in SJPdP the Pilgrim Office of the Amis du Chemin de Saint Jacques at 39 rue de la Citadelle can provide you with a Credential and on site lodging assistance. Their volunteers help run the albergue at 55 rue de la Citadelle, but they do NOT take reservations. If their albergue is full they will help you find other pilgrim lodgings. They keep up to the minute lists of available space throughout the SJPdP area. Their telephone is 05 59 37 05 09. In season the pilgrim office is open from 7h30 to 12h30 and then from 13h30 to 22h.
Bon voyage and Buen Camino.

Sarah,
Right you are ! There is a TER ligne 62 train to SJPdP from Bayonne at 14:55 everyday including holidays .
By the way the Gare SNCF in Bayonne is small and easily navigated. The staff is helpful and used to dealing with throngs of pilgrims as well as vacationers. They will help you find your way. The station cafe boasts many handy plugs for recharging your computer or smartphone; relax and have a drink while you wait for your train.
Bon Voyage and Buen Camino,

Hi Christer...yes Im possibly on the same Ryanair flight?!I fly from Johannesburg on Tuesday evening arriving Wed morning - see an Aunt in London and get across to Stansted. Where are you coming from? Perhaps we can help each other find our way to SJPDP?!!Hi Rose
Are you coming from Stansted by any chance? I land around the same time on the same day and will also be heading to SJPDP
Yes i am also flying from Stansted, I live in London. We will find our way no problem and i think maybe others will be on the same flight. If there are enough of us we could perhaps look at getting a taxi to SJPDP instead of waiting for the train at 1809hrs from Bayonne? I have no booking for accommodation so hoping the Pilgrim office will find somethingHi Christer...yes Im possibly on the same Ryanair flight?!I fly from Johannesburg on Tuesday evening arriving Wed morning - see an Aunt in London and get across to Stansted.

Hi there...How long will it take to get from Marble Arch to Stansted?? Ive got my boarding pass for Ryanair flight but havent booked in my backpack....(trying to save 25 pounds!) Do you think my walking poles are going to be allowed onto the plane as hand luggage or will they be seen as dangerous weapons? It sounds a great idea to share a taxi to SJPDP if there are enough of us to share the cost. Ive got a booking at Auberge du Pelegrin for Wed 28th pm. Am rather worried as Orisson is fully booked for Thursday and Friday and as Ive unfortunately got a heel injury, I will need to take it easy on the first few days...so dont know where Ill be finding somewhere to sleep!! Only 2 sleeps left...before I leave Johannesburg for London!Yes i am also flying from Stansted, I live in London. We will find our way no problem and i think maybe others will be on the same flight.

Buen Camino
