Has anyone used the bus R7 from Perpignan airport to Perpignan station recently? Is it reliable?

It'll be the first time for ages for us as well. Have been coming down by train more and more. After loads of digging on the Internet I came up with this site
http://www.ctpmperpignan.com/ which gives the times of the buses. They appear to be every 30 minutes but the nearest you can get to the station is FNAC we think. We are coming on the 4th of May and will be trying it out. I will report back on how it goes (if it goes!) and let you know. We are also then attempting to catch a bus from the station to St Genis. Wish us luck!!!!

The last I heard it was still terminating at the train station.

According to the above link there are buses from the airport to train and bus stations.

Thanks Sue but I'm not sure their info is up to date as they mention flights by BMI Baby who don't exist anymore! I know there used to be a navette operating but I think now it is a "proper" bus operated by CTPM who are Compagnie Transports Perpignan Mediterranee who run the buses around Perpignan apparently.

Just to update you. The journey from Perpignan airport on the R 7 bus was plain sailing. The bus left the airport on time and arrived at Place Catalogne in about 20 mins. Walked up to Perpignan station and caught a direct bus to St Genis. All very straightforward. The price is €1.10 on the R7 and of course €1 on the local bus.
Returned the same way. Much cheaper than a taxi!!! Judging by the number of English people getting on the bus at Place Catalogne to go to the airport on our return journey, we're not the only ones to be using this method of transport!

And just in case you have lots of luggage, le p,tit bus can take you from Fnac to the station - for free!

I did this as well all easy and ok, bit of a wait for the connecting bus to St Cyp but for the cost was great value.
