| Note 1
- The earlier bus may not wait for the train, so expect 29
minutes wait at the station. |
| Note 2 - The train TO Lisbon runs on SUNDAYS only, 2nd July to 3rd September. The train FROM Lisbon runs on Fridays only, 30th June to 1st September, ie for the summer. |
| Note 3 - I would not take a chance on the next bus. It arrives only 3 or 4 minutes before the trains are due to leave. You would not have time to buy a train ticket. |
