The French national rail company, SNCF, will temporarily stop train service on the line connecting Bayonne to Hendaye Terminus in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques region. This closure is scheduled for the first weekend of October, as announced by SNCF Voyageurs. The decision comes as part of a large-scale project to improve the railway infrastructure, specifically focusing on the "rehabilitation and creation of railway drainage networks." These improvements are intended to ensure the long-term safety and efficiency of the tracks. The work will take place both day and night and will require significant human and material resources. To allow for these operations to be carried out safely and effectively, a temporary suspension of train traffic is necessary. The section between Bayonne and Hendaye will be closed starting Saturday, October 3, at 12:15 p.m., and will reopen on Sunday, October 4, as early as 10:30 a.m. For travelers who cannot delay their trip, a replacement bus service will be available. Assistance teams wearing red vests will be stationed at the arrival and departure points of the buses to provide travelers with the necessary information. This disruption is part of a broader plan that will affect several lines in the region between October 2026 and December 2026. The project is part of a regional initiative aimed at improving transportation infrastructure in Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
