Think they have either closed down, or are to close down soon.

So has anyone on here travelled from Gerona Airport to Argelès ( or nearby ) using bus ( or ? taxi ) to Gerona train station , and then train along the coast ?
How difficult is it ? Any pointers ?

How difficult could it possibly be? So long as you take account of the train strikes. Even the Comanche warriors have pretty blunt tomahawks nowadays, round about Girona.

I did it once 10 years ago - it was fine. Just not fast!
Out of curiosity I just checked the timetables and it's still viable, several times a day - but 14.48 is the last train to get from Girona to make a connection at Cerbere.
Use renfe.com and search Girona to Cerbere for train times - and then sncf.com for Cerbere to Argeles.
Alternatively, you could do the TGV from Girona to Perpignan, and then train it back down to Argeles. I haven't checked the price but would imagine it's certainly more pricey than using the older route via Cerbere.

Thanks.........That's the kind of info I was hoping for.
Fast doesn't matter at all, but if 14.48 is the last train it makes it undoable for almost all arrival times from N/E England, given that one has to get to the station from the airport and leave time for getting the ticket etc..
I've never got a TGV to or from outside of France - would one be able to check times on the SNCF website I wonder.
( Could maybe be a useful article for the P~O Life mag ? ).
Thanks again.

The renfe.com site gives you the Girona/Perpignan option too.
Weekdays appear to have 5 trains a day and the last two departures from Girona are 17.26 and 19.11.
Journey time is around 40 minutes.
