L54 on 13/09 to SAINT-JEANhas been canceled.

€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
Trainline shows a bus (replacement for train) leaving Bayonne at 5,13pm on 13 Sept arriving SJPP 6,35pm. As @Tincatinker said, just join the others with backpacks

Just curious - what is L54?
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
So I'm getting the impression the Bayonne to St Jean PdeP gets canceled quite often? If so, how come? Or is that just trains in general in France?
 
Some, not me, might suggest it’s a track maintenance issue. Lots of bends, slopes, trees, rocks and other stuff like that. Some, definitely not me, might suggest it’s the wear and tear caused by hordes of Pilgrims with their overloaded backpacks and overwhelming expectations.
I think it’s subtle combination of both. It was a rural backwater line getting kids to school and granny to market until some irriot designated St Jean as the starting point of the road to Nirvana. So now there’s enough passenger demand that SNCF are obliged to keep the line open and nowhere near enough to pay for the investment required. They are keeping the local bus drivers in steady employment though
 
Perfect memento/gift in a presentation box. Engraving available, 25 character max.

It was cancel on us, last September. A bus alternative was provided and the bus met the train time schedule, including intermediate stops.

That day, we were told the cancellation was the result of a rock slide onto the tracks.
