Just Katie Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Hi all, due to the closure of Toulouse airport, my friends will arrive at Bordeaux this evening and are hoping to travel onto Toulouse.However the trains are 140 euro pp and none of them have their licence to hire a car. Does anyone know if they could get on a bus, or how much a taxi would cost or even if anyone is available to help them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianagain Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 A quick check on the SNCF website shows a single ticket to be about 34 euros for trains this evening??Brian (again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianagain Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I guess that was the good news but I see that there is a (another?) grève nationale on the trains today - seems that services are disrupted at present - sorry!Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezTinns Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Am I missing something - Toulouse airport closed ???? When, how long for? I am due to fly out on Saturday, and since reading this post have checked with Toulouse Airport, Bristol Airport, and Easyjet website but can't see anything about it being closed, except for the Bristol and Madrid flight being cancelled??? But no reason why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 It's because of the day of national strikes. Like you I'm due to fly soon - Sunday - so hope it's ok by then.Look on the website for the airport:http://www.toulouse.aeroport.fr/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezTinns Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Thanks Patf. My computer kept on refreshing the Toulouse ariport website to the English version !! - which makes no mention of anything!! I can see now the announcement regarding the strike. Am looking forward to a week in the Gers !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Katie Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 For what it is worth, everyone arrived happily by TGV from Bordeaux. Thanks Brian. Also, everyone returned from Toulouse to Bristol yesterday and the day before with just a one hour delay. Bon journey to toulouse !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
