Has it ever crossed the minds of CP (Renfe doesn´t think that much about easy and practical things...) to establish a new Porto (or Viana do Castelo)-Ourense train?
I say so, because between Caminha (Portugal) and Arbo (Spain), one could consider the line as bi-national.

-Caminha station might serve A Guarda and Camposancos too (there is a boat service crossing the Minho/Miño river).
-Vila Nova de Cerveira station might as well serve Goián.
-Salvaterra station might serve Monçâo.
-Arbo station might serve Melgaço.

It is a bit weird not to use the full real potential of this line.
It´s not like it crosses unpopulated areas, only that some of these towns are across the border (sometimes you only need to cross a bridge on foot, the center of Monçâo might be around 10 min on foot from Salvaterra station in Spain).

As they are using the 592 DMUs for the Vigo-Porto services, there´s not a single problem of homologation.

Question:
What are step-by-step procedures if you want to travel between Spain and Portugal......by rail transportation?

pai nosso · December 25th, 2012, 12:32 PM

Buy a ticket, hop-on, get out on the terminal station!!!

Now seriously:

there are 3 international connections, Porto-Vigo, Lisbon-Madrid [Lusitânia Hotel], Lisbon-Hendaye [Sud-Express], you can buy a ticket on the stations or buy on the internet (only for the Sud-Express & Lusitânia Hotel).

See the information on the cp site (in english):
http://www.cp.pt/cp/displayPage.do?v...c0RCRD&lang=en

Lusitânia Hotel

Well... not necessarily. You can end up here, at Lisboa-Oriente:
