New train service into the Central Pyrenees

Canfranc Station - semi-derelict for 40 years but the prospects are brighter
Canfranc Station – semi-derelict for 40 years but the prospects are brighter

After 40 years of neglect the famous (infamous?) railway line from Pau to Canfranc is being renovated. At present the trains all stop at Oloron and a bus takes passengers across the border to Canfranc. But the French SNCF is in the process of testing the line as far as Bedous and a regular service will be inaugurated on 3 July 2016 (SNCF reservations are now possible).
