Train from La Coruna to Santiago de Compostela

[COYS24]

We are thinking of making our own way from La Coruna to Santiago de Compostela. Rather than going on the ship's official tour, we may take the train, which we are told is quite easy, and much cheaper and quicker. Any advice please ?

We were thinking about taking the train in La Coruna to Santiago de Compostela. It appears very much a possibility.  Rail Europe https://www.raileurope.com/en-us/destinations/a-coruna-santiago-de-compostela-train has direct trains between the cities for about 15 Euros. The train runs about every 30 to 45 minutes throughout the day.   Tickets can be purchased online and popular times sell out.  The transit station in La Coruna is located at Av. Ferrocarril, 2, 15007 A Coruña, Spain.

How far from the cruise port to train station. Walk, taxi?
