Public transport access to Pyrenees (GR10)
I am interested in hiking the GR10, a long hike crossing the Pyrenees mountain range from west to east. I will not hike it all at once but in sections I can cover in about a week at most.
I have no car and so far, I have just started looking at the western beginning part. I have only found the trail to be accessible by public transport (train) in 3 places : Hendaye (the start), Bidarray and St-Jean-Pied-de-Port. I have used the local trains map to figure that:
Given the few places the trail seems accessible with public transport near its beginning, I am afraid the trail is barely accessible once it reaches the mountains.
My question is therefore, where is the GR10 trail accessible by public transport? I expect only a handful of places actually are.

Can you walk across the Pyrenees?
In fact one of the great attractions of this park is the number of refuges there are, making it possible to complete long multi-day walks across some of the iconic peaks in the Pyrenees, including a section of the GR11 long distance path.How long does it take to walk across the Pyrenees?
Some people walk the path in 30 days but for most it will take about 55, walking for an average of 7 hours.Which is better GR10 or GR11?
The GR11 stays higher and is rougher than the GR10, but there is actually more climb on the GR10 as it drops down into the deep valleys cut by the north-flowing glaciers in the last ice-age. The GR10 is less direct than the other two routes and will take a little longer.How long is the GR 10?
