Latest news and stories about cascais line in Portugal for expats and residents.
Railway traffic will be restricted between São Pedro do Estoril and Cascais
Until the schedules are normalised, services will be increased during peak hours, with trains every 15 minutes stopping at all stations.
Even with the line being single track, technically nothing prevents CP from running a train every 20 minutes instead of the current half-hour intervals.
According to IP, rail traffic is suspended on the North Line between Alfarelos and Coimbra B; on the Douro Line between Régua and Pocinho; on the West Line between Mafra and Amieira; on the Beira Baixa Line between Mouriscas and Sarnadas; on the Cascais Line on the ascending track between Algés and Caxias and at the Xabregas Junction between Lisbon Santa Apolónia and Chelas Junction.
Services between Oeiras and Cais do Sodré are suspended until further notice.
The restrictions are due to works on the Lisbon Metro's Circular Line.
An alternative bus service will be provided with clearly marked buses and access for passengers with reduced mobility, but the carriage of bicycles and scooters will not be permitted.
Train services on the Cascais Line will be limited on Friday and in the early hours of Saturday. Passengers are advised to check timetables and expect delays or changes to services.
