This means you’ll need to book two sets of tickets to cover both countries. The trains on the Portuguese side are commuter or regional trains and don’t have cafe cars. The Badajoz to Madrid train has a dining car that serves basic bites and drinks. There is a cafe at Badajoz’s train station that serves basic snacks and drinks. There are no luggage lockers in Badajoz’s train station – traveling with a compact case or backpack will make exploring the city a lot easier. Wi-fi is not available in the stations or on the trains. In the last couple years, strikes led by employees of the state-run Comboios de Portugal (CP) have led to the cancellation of as many as half the country’s trains on multiple occasions. Before buying tickets, do a quick search or check CP’s website to see if a strike is in progress or about to happen. Read today's Portuguese stories delivered to your email CP - Comboios de Portugal has commissioned a study regarding demand for regional services and has also put out to tender the study of night trains between Galicia and the Algarve At issue is a contract signed with the consultancy firm Trenmo providing for a study on the regional service on the Porto-Entroncamento axis within the scope of a competition for demand studies for regional services on the Minho carried out to finance the purchase of 55 regional railcars included in the order for 117 trains the first covering the Minho Line and its "potential market for regional and long-distance transport demand namely on the high-speed axis between Lisbon/Porto/Vigo/A Coruña and connection to Francisco Sá Carneiro airport" This lot foresees "the analysis of six supply scenarios that cover the Lisbon-Porto-Corunha international trains (in a first phase High Speed ​​+ conventional and in a second phase only High Speed) Faro-Corunha international trains (conventional and night regional and interregional offer Porto-Viana do Castelo – Valença" The second lot concerns the section of the Northern Line between Porto and Entroncamento aiming at three scenarios that encompass the "paced offer of the Regional train on the Coimbra-Aveiro section and on the Entroncamento-Coimbra section with the extension of this offer to Figueira da Foz" and a "new interregional offer between Lisbon and Porto at night" which concerns the Beira Alta and Beira Baixa lines the study will analyse the "demand for regional medium and long-distance transport over Lisbon and Porto and international connections to Salamanca" Three scenarios are envisaged that cover the "long-distance supply on the Beira Alta and Beira Baixa Lines Lisbon-Covilhã-Guarda-Pampilhosa-Lisbon; Lisbon-Covilhã Lisbon-Covilhã-Guarda (analyzing the feasibility of its extension to Porto) and on the Porto-Guarda-Covilhã section" This lot also provides for the analysis of the "regional and interregional offer on the Beira Alta and Beira Baixa Lines" and "the existence of High-Speed ​​services with a stop in Coimbra that allows transfers between the conventional offer and High Speed" As for the last lot, which refers to the Algarve Line and the study of demand and regional and long-distance transport on the connection to Lisbon and Évora, CP intends to study five scenarios that cover the "regional offer on the Tavira-Faro axis and long-distance offer between Lisbon and Vila Real de Santo António between Porto-Lisbon-Faro and between Lisbon-Lagos" and the "regional and interregional offer on the Faro-Lagos and Vila Real de Santo António-Faro sections" The analysis also includes "Braga-Vila Real de Santo António high-speed trains" which also aim to "enhance the connection to the international southern corridor - long-distance train between Faro-Elvas" the aim is to evaluate the potential passenger demand in the areas of influence" of the lots analyzed "over a 30-year horizon according to scenarios of socioeconomic and infrastructure evolution and the supply of railway services" The future high-speed line should connect Porto and Lisbon in one hour and 15 minutes The Porto-Vigo journey is estimated to take 50 minutes The first phase (Porto-Soure) of the high-speed line in Portugal is expected to be completed in 2030 and the second phase (Soure-Carregado) is scheduled for completion in 2032 connecting to Lisbon via the Northern Line As for the connection between Porto and Vigo stations are planned at Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport We appreciate that not everyone can afford to pay for our services but if you are able to we ask you to support The Portugal News by making a contribution – no matter how small You can change how much you give or cancel your contributions at any time I notice that CP are only intending to study the proposals Authorities have been talking about a new airport for Lisbon for over fifty years now I doubt any of this will happen in my lifetime!

The trip starts in an Intercity from Lisbon changes to a green diesel Allan in Entroncamento and there will be nine hours and three different trains between the two Iberian capitals - two less than at present - with the reinforcement of the offer by CP and also by the Spanish company Renfe CP will adjust the supply on the East Line on July 31 to respond to the new rail infrastructure that Spain has just introduced between Madrid and Badajoz (we'll be there in a minute) not only will the train connection between Lisbon and the Spanish capital be shortened by two hours (from 11 to nine hours) but it will also take three trains instead of four (that is two transfers instead of three) to make the trip the trip will take nine hours and 30 minutes two daily trains per direction instead of one there is only one connection leaving Santa Apolónia at 8:45 am and arriving at Badajoz at 2:14 pm passing through Entroncamento; and in the opposite direction leaving Badajoz at 4:24 pm and arriving in Lisbon at 8:20 pm But since Renfe will only put Intercity on one daily connection per direction between Badajoz and Madrid taking the train that exists today would force a long waiting time in the Spanish border city On the East Line, the Allan green railcars will continue to run, according to Público journalist Carlos Cipriano "it's the oldest equipment CP has in its service and they only run on the Eastern Line" They were built in Holland in the 1950s and have had their life span extended with a modernization carried out in the 1990s They circulate at a maximum speed of 100 km/h "the breakdowns of these vehicles in the Alto Alentejo have been frequent". Carlos Cipriano writes that CP doesn't have more modern diesel-powered equipment for the Eastern Line because the existing fleet is in use on the Douro Western and Algarve lines - only with the electrification of these stretches and the arrival of new will it be possible to free up diesel-powered cars for other services that With limited service on the Portuguese side it was in Spanish territory that less travel time was gained between the two Iberian capitals a new 150-kilometer high-speed section between Badajoz and Plasencia; still without electrification (it will only be done next year) be 180 km/h - instead of the future 250 km/h - which still guarantees a 51-minute shorter trip between Badajoz and Madrid than in the past but its partner CP showed no interest in using the East Line for this preferring the Beira Alta and the connection to Spain through Salamanca O ECO journalist Diogo Ferreira Nunes writes that with an understanding between Renfe and CP for the extension of the Intercity to Lisbon the trip could be shortened to seven hours - the train would circulate in Iberian and European gauge and under electric voltage on both sides of the border (25 thousand volts in Portugal and 3 thousand volts in Spain) Renfe has even proposed a division of expenses and revenues (but mostly expenses because the service will be loss-making) on the Portuguese route the daytime rail connection between Lisbon and Madrid took less time than it will take as of June 31: only eight hours with the direct Talgo "Luís de Camões" train MB Way: 933 140 217 (indicar “LPP”) Ou clica aqui Podes escrever-nos para [email protected] O LPP / Lisbon For People é um jornal local dedicado à cidade e à área metropolitana de Lisboa editado de forma totalmente independente e sem fins lucrativos ' + scriptOptions._localizedStrings.webview_notification_text + ' " + scriptOptions._localizedStrings.redirect_overlay_title + " " + scriptOptions._localizedStrings.redirect_overlay_text + " With all the European funds made available to Portugal is quite inconceivable mainland Portugal has so bad infrastructure and the people seem OK with it When compared to Spain the disparity is abyssal The practically non existant rail links between the major cities of lisboa Madrid and Barcelona should be an embarrassment to both countries High speed links would be good for the environment and the economy This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page About us | Advertise with us | Contact us Posted: 27 March 2017 | | No comments yet Following a thorough refurbishment recently carried out at its central workshops in Entroncamento Empresa de Manutenção de Equipamento Ferroviário (EMEF) has delivered the first New Generation Alfa Pendular train to Comboios de Portugal (CP) Following a thorough refurbishment recently carried out at its central workshops in Entroncamento, Empresa de Manutenção de Equipamento Ferroviário, S.A.

14 Sorefame carriages which also run regular services on the Douro Line; and 23 Arco carriages which ensure inter-regional services on the Minho Line and run between Valença and Figueira da Foz This workshop also carries out general overhauls on various types of railcars and many other one-off interventions It should be remembered that CP has increasingly sought to become a leader in internal mobility and a market leader in passenger transport contributing to territorial cohesion and the country's economic The strategy adopted included the reopening of workshops that had been closed for several years and the recovery and return to service of fixed rolling stock from railcars to locomotives and carriages which gave the company the capacity to respond to the large increase in passengers in recent years CP carried 126.2 million passengers and is forecast to close 2024 with 185 million passengers carried which represents an increase of more than 46% in just six years This growth reflects people's growing confidence in CP's services and recognises the efficiency of the railway as a sustainable means of transport The company's employees have been essential to achieving these good results dedication and professionalism of our workers that Comboios de Portugal continues to grow and offer an ever higher quality service to all the Portuguese,’ the Chairman of CP added The National Drawing Competition on Rail Transport is a joint event organised by the National Railway Museum Foundation IP - Infraestruturas de Portugal and DGstE - Direção Geral dos Estabelecimentos Escolares This year it celebrated its 4th edition with the theme ‘Crossing Paths’ asking children to create an original drawing of a real or imaginary train journey and how it can cross paths in our lives hosted the prize-giving ceremony this Saturday and it was with great enthusiasm that the winning artists were honoured from among hundreds of drawings from primary and secondary schoolsup and down the country The ceremony was attended by the organisations involved in a moment of recognition for the children's talent while also highlighting the importance of the train as a sustainable means of transport CP also launched the challenge of organising family train journeys during the Christmas holidays which will build future memories for these children the competition exhibition was inaugurated featuring the 45 highest-scoring drawings and which will be open to the public until 21 March 2025
