A quick question or two about getting to Astorga

My wife and myself plan to spend the first two two weeks in October walking from Astorga to Sandiago de Compostela. We will be arriving in Bilbao and plan to get from there to Leon by train. What is the best way to get from Leon to Astorga?
Does anybody have any better suggestions and any advice would be appreciated.

Many thanks
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

The station is just down the hill from the cathedral.
 
I took the train from Leon to Astorga - it's less than an hour. When you get out of the train station, walk up the hill and veer right towards Gaudi's building (you'll see the spire), there is a great albergue just around the corner from there. cheers, Jane
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
Falcon, which bus company is this?
 
ALSA

I had tried ALSA. I guess it was just too far in advance to get a schedule.
Thanks.
