How to go from Caen to Dinan via train/bus

How can I get from Bayeux FR to Dinan using trains and buses? The best thing I've come up with is taking the train from Bayeux to Pontorson, then hopefully finding a bus that goes to Dinan. Has anyone done that? Please don't suggest renting a car; that is absolutely out of the question. The rub seems to be that the train from Bayeux arrives in Pontorson 1 minute before the train from Pontorson takes off for Dinan. Even with the best of luck, we can't hope to make that connection.

Thanks Jeff, you've been a big help. My computer won't let me pull up the bus schedule, but I think I'll take the train from Bayeux to Pontorson then look for a bus to Dinan. For now, I'm crossing my fingers that they have a departure after 19:40. Brenda

I just checked the DB site and found connections to be slightly different from what Jeff reported. If you depart at either 07:28 or 14:31, you will connect in Rennes and Lamballe. There are no evening trains that you could take.
