Algarve railway

Post by roy4eyes »

According to a report in 'The Resident' C.P. have closed Silves station. Does this mean that trains no longer stop there or is the situation similar to Estombar insofaras there are no staff and tickets have to be bought on the train ?

Anybody yet used the super new (1960) trains and if so what was their opinion ?

Again, according to the Rodent report, they are slower with less acceleration and more prone to breaking down than their (pre-war ?) predecessors.
