Is the bus station near the railway station in Bayonne?

Mark2012 · May 20, 2012

In another thread I started today, I mentioned how I missed my flight from Stansted to Biarritz today, and so have had to improvise a little bit in terms of a Plan B! Anyway, the new plan involves me flying to Bilbao this evening, and I plan to get a bus from there to San Sebastian tonight. I've booked a room in a hotel right beside the bus station, and plan to get a 9am bus tomorrow from San Seb to Bayonne. The bus is scheduled to arrive at 10.15am, and my train from Bayonne is scheduled to leave at 11.50am.

So, arising from all that, I'm just wondering how far the railway station is from the bus station in Bayonne? They may even be based in the same place for all I know. I've tried to track the info down online, but to no avail.

I would appreicate it very much if someone could shed some light on this!

I don't have a clue, I'm afraid, but can definitely empathise with the missed flight scenario. Still, I got my third Compostela as a result so it all worked out fine. Buen Camino!

The buses gather across the river from the train station at the Mairie, but many buses go to the train station. It is a short walk.

Yes, as Falcon said above, it is a short walk. It seems you'll have a little while grab some supplies. I know there are little shops near the bus station where one can pick up various items for the next day walk. This may be a good idea for you.

I think we discussed this before as I will be taking the same route from Stansted. May I be bold to ask how you missed your connection? Perhaps this will help me in 3 weeks.

Cheers!

Thank you very much! Bus on the road now. Here's hoping for no more hiccups, at least until I reach St Jean!

It was a bit sloppy on my part. I somehow got it into my head that my flight left at 1.15, but it was actually 12.15. By the time I realised my error, the clock was very much against me. In the end, the baggage drop desk closed just as I sprinted into the airport. If it was a movie, I would have been just in time!

As to how I made the mistake, well, I had flown from Cork to Stansted on the Friday, and because the flight on was my second of the weekend, perhaps I just didn't pay enough attention or take the time to doublecheck the ticket before Sunday.

And this morning, I very nearly missed my bus to Bayonne! I thought it was possible to buy tickets on buses over here, but when I tried to get on the 9am I was told I has to go to the Pesa office. At this point, it was close to departure time and I had already put my rucksack in the hold. I had visions of the bus pulling out without me, but I made it... just!

So far, I've been making this very hard on myself!!!

Sorry if I am smiling for you Mark! What an adventure! I'm smiling and smirking because this is exactly how most of my travels start. For some reason, I make things much more difficult than they should be even after 15 years of travel. Good to know I'm not the only one!

The great thing about the Camino, simply walk west.

¡Ultreia!

I'm thinking missing everything is a good sign...

well not as such, but it does imply that you have let go of the "control" thing that most of us run our life by which is a lot of what the camino is about (for me at least)

when I'm sitting in a train station waiting for a train and the train ends up taking off without me because I didn't notice, I consider that a good day...

so in just reading the post above

The great thing about the Camino, simply walk west.

I can't help thinking: what happens if your feet take off without you :shock:

Buen Camino (and maybe get a compass, just in case...)

Hi I'm travelling to Burgos to walk part of the Camino Frances next year and my options seems to be fly into Santander and coach to Burgos, or fly into Madrid, then coach to Burgos. Don't think...

Hello! I’ve been browsing the forum and there’s plenty of info for baggage transfers from stage to stage, where you pick it up daily, give it back and move on, however what I’m after is a service...

Is the bus station near the railway station in Bayonne?
