Portugal - Lines with Obscure or Sparse passenger services

From EGTRE
Jump to navigationJump to search

Introduction

This list is based on the service valid as at 13 December 2015. CP no longer publish a national railway timetable, so the table numbers used (prefixed TCE) are those in the "European Rail Timetable" published by Thomas Cook.

CP's timetable periods nominally coincide with those in the rest of Europe, but in practice timetables are changed on an ad hoc basis, often with little notice.

Standard abbreviations are explained in General Information.
