The bad weather that has affected Portugal in recent weeks continues to cause damage and disruption to mobility. In this regard, rail traffic has been particularly affected by flooding and landslides.
The Eastern Line, which connects Entroncamento and the border of Badajoz (Spain), was suspended on Thursday, February 11, due to a fallen barrier. However, service has now resumed.
There are no long-distance trains in the north
According to the official website of CP – Comboios de Portugal, for this Thursday, no “long-distance trains (Intercidades/Alfa Pendular)” are scheduled to run on the Northern Line. Despite this, regional services between Entroncamento and Soure, Coimbra-Aveiro-Porto, and between Tomar and Lisbon will continue to run .
In addition, the Beira da Baixa Line is also suspended, with the exception of a few regional connections, namely between Castelo Branco and Guarda and between Entroncamento and Abrantes.
