CP's Vision for Future Rail Routes
Comboios de Portugal (CP) is planning to introduce innovative train routes connecting various cities across Portugal and beyond. Proposed routes include:
- Faro to A Coruña
- CovilhĂŁ to Porto
- Lisbon to Salamanca
- Braga to Vila Real de Santo AntĂłnio
- Faro to Elvas
These plans are part of a broader project that aims to transform the railway landscape in Portugal, especially with the anticipated introduction of high-speed lines. However, these ideas are still in the preliminary stages and face several challenges:
- Securing EU funding for new trains
- Improving infrastructure
- Obtaining necessary approvals from regulatory bodies including IMT (Institute of Mobility and Transport) and AMT (Authority of Mobility and Transport)
While the list of potential new itineraries is extensive, they currently remain intentions that require overcoming significant hurdles to become a reality.
