Introduction

This list is based on the service valid as at 16 November 2022. CP's timetable periods nominally coincide with those in the rest of Europe, but in practice timetables are changed on an ad hoc basis, often with little notice. At 16 November 2022 the introduction dates of the various tables varied from 12 December 2021 to 11 November 2022!

CP no longer publishes a national railway timetable, so there are no table numbers.

Standard abbreviations are explained in General Information.

Map references for each route entry are given in parentheses ( ). References prefixed "ERA-E" refer to the European Railway Atlas (All-Europe Edition) by M.G. Ball. Template:Map Refs ERA-R-ES-PT

See Portugal - Tram services over obscure routes

Other sparse services

The following lines have few trains (relative to service levels generally in this country) - fewer than four trains each way on at least three days a week - or do not run every day of the week:

Linha da Beira Alta Pampilhosa - Guarda - Vilar Formoso
(- Fuentes de Oñoro (Spain))
All trains have been replaced by buses since 19 April 2022 for major engineering work.
Linha do Minho Valença - Tui/Guillarei (Spain) Two Trencelta services per day to/from Vigo. RENFE Regionales trains are still suspended.
Linha do Leste Entroncamento - Portalegre - Elvas - Badajoz (Spain) Two regional trains a day.
Linha do Vouga Oliveira de Azeméis - Sernada do Vouga Replaced by taxis with no known date for resumption of passenger trains. The line is still used by trains running empty to and from Sernada do Vouga works.
