It seems that I cannot book a train transfer from the station at St Pierre des Corps to Tours on line. Will tickets be available at the station? Or are there taxis at the St Pierre des Corps station? Do I need to book a taxi in advance? Thanks for your help.

There are regional trains and you should be able to buy a ticket on the station.

You can also buy tickets in the SNCF app - it's pretty easy. You can chose your train and how many tickets and at what fares. Then if someone asks for your tickets once on board, you just show the QR code in the app. I believe there is usually only maybe 5 minutes between the TGV arrivals and the train to Tours (on purpose as many people make that switch), but the ticket machines are all the way back in the terminal. You can buy it in the app from the TGV train using wifi if you don't have data, then just find the track you need for the Tours train, with one less thing to do at the station. The app will also sometimes show you what track your train will be on.

I know some of the TGV trains from Tours to Paris are direct--stop in St. Pierre but you don't have to change trains.
RailEurope shows some direct from CDG to Tours, no changes.
Hope that helps.

There are no direct trains from CDG to Tours, no matter what Rail Europe say.
You should be able to buy a ticket from St Pierre des Corps to Tours using whichever means you used to buy your ticket from CDG to SpDC. It's not a timed ticket
