    Inter-rail Portugal single country ticket

    All of it can be done on IC services. As it happens, I have friends who are doing just this today - IC511 Lisboa SA to Guarda via the Beira Alta, lunch break, IC542 to Entroncamento via the Beira Baixa, then IC731 north to Porto, thus covering the section as far as Pampilhosa twice in one day...

The tenth loco, 2612, is also MW fitted, but the next...

Prior to Covid, passenger numbers were increasing year on year, reversing a downward trend that we had for manys...
