Trouble finding train

[Cbflores]

Hi there fellow pilgrims!

My father and I are planning to start the Camino on May 20, we land in Madrid on May 18 and we’re relying on taking a train to St. Jean soon after BUT we have run into a complication. When we were trying to buy train tickets online, they were not available due to there being a STRIKE in France...I’ve checked multiple train websites but they are not helping much. What suggestions do you all have? Much appreciated

If you arrive in Madrid, you take a train or bus to Pamplona and then a bus from there to Saint Jean, not a train.

Why not catch the train to Pamplona and then take the bus. Or share a cab with other pilgrims from Pamplona
