Thanks a lot for these infos! Thank you! They are precious! I know ovos moles and could eat them all day long. Delicious!!!

Hi! They are common on Santa Apolónia to Azambuja services. I've been seeing them a lot there.

Thank you!! Very kind! There will be more videos about Portugal, although, for right now, only one more, depicting a trip from Lisboa to Porto using the Alfa tilting train. Then and for a few weeks, I'll post videos in Spain and Morocco.

Thanks!!! Cheers! 😃

@@otozept Thank you for sharing! It's indeed a beautiful trip and perfect as a day-trip from Porto.

@@LeondoBrawlStars_yt Yes, of course. Soon a trip report in an Alfa tilting train will be unveiled. It will be, probably, next week's video.

@@fernandoribeiro2228 Thank you for sharing your memories! 🙂

Thank you! Cheers! 🙂

Thank you so much for your comment and input regarding the voice issue. 🙂 Thanks also for the information about 1455. Why didn't CP paint them all in the same blue? Interesting that difference between locomotives showing the same livery but one darker than the others. Thanks for that!

Thank you for the suggestion! The Vouga train is on my list for the future. However I'm waiting for the middle section to reopen so that I can travel the whole line from Aveiro to Espinho. Maybe in 2025? Thank you for your comment!

@@SouthPeter98 I'll take that into consideration. The issue with using my own voice is that I speak slowly and that would probably make viewers fall asleep in the first 30 seconds. Not exactly the best for a 15 minutes video! Further down the line I'll probably make a video using my own voice, evaluate viewers' reception and see how it goes. One other option is to synthesize my own voice. However, I believe it would have the same problems as using an AI generator. Making the videos with subtitles alone isn't the best idea, as well. As usual, I thank you for the feedback! Keep in touch!

@@worldwide.p practise makes perfect. You can also speed up the sound in editing.

@@Imagewalk Thank you! Very kind of you to send your comment. I hope you enjoy the next trip as well! It will be live tomorrow. Cheers!

@@samuellourenco1050 As a matter of fact it does as it has available breaking percentage for it and both locomotive and cars are aurhorized to such speed. The speedometer reading shown in the video was filmed in that same trip.

@@worldwide.p Portuguese Intercidades with that 1992 Siemens locomotive can reach 220 km/h... For a safety reason they never go beyond 200 km/h. But they do these speeds.

@@carlosamaral6917 The modernized Sorefame cars, like the Corails, are certified only up to 200km/h. In tests they reached 220km/h but aren't authorized to run commercially at that speed.

@@worldwide.p Excatly 👍

Thanks for the information! 🙂

@@tiagom There isn't any Alfa Pendular service to Casa Branca, the Intercidades being the sole option to travel by rail from Lisbon to Evora and Beja.

Thanks!!!

I find it better than my own voice. Maybe some day I'll change but that's not something I'm considering at the moment. I thank you for your input, nonetheless. 🙂

Correction: directly from Lisbon do Beja

Hi! Thank you for the suggestion. The trip all the way up to Guarda is planned and a video on that will come out, maybe sometime around late September, early October. Cheers!

The trains are better? They are the same Inter cidades

Best views are in the Douro Valley (North). But trains are definitely worse there.

@@PAULOSOUSADIAS Thank you! I'll bear that in mind! 🙂

Thank you for the information. That's what I thought. It's a pity, though. The bar area is quite nice.

@@worldwide.p yes, the bar on the Intercidades trains is actually much bigger and nicer than the one on the Alfa Pendular trains. It is a shame that they've decided not to open it on this route.

Hi! Thank you for this insight! Cheers!

Many train stations are in a miserable state all over Portugal, specially in Lisbon where graffitis are everywhere, the trains are also vandalized with grafitti (as shown in the video) and the railways tracks are full of empty bottles and trash. I really can't understand how it's possible to have stations like this in Portugal and don't be ashamed.

Thank you! Cheers! 🙂

Olá! Muito obrigado pela simpatia e por ter visto o video! 🙂

@@carlosfalcato9414 oh... yes, indeed a big problem. I didn't see a clean Class 450 that day. 😔

Hi and thank you so much for your detailed comment! It's much appreciated! :-) I believe you'll enjoy some of the next videos, then, for I will be posting a few about train travel in Portugal. Is there anything in particular that you would like to see? I'm always open to suggestions and, as far as possible, I will accommodate them. Regarding the pronunciation, well... I'll do my best! As for the Budd/Sorefame cars, I was surprised to feel such nice rolling quality, even considering that they were fitted with Y32 bogies in the 1990s. They are no German ICE (particularly ICE 1 or 3), of course, but the rolling quality is quite good and that is a plus. Further, the interiors are very beautiful. What this means is that the barebones of the product are good. It's a matter, now, of just updating the interiors and bringing them up to current standards. Little things like foot rests, coat hooks, USB ports, some recline in the seats and little others make a world of difference and improve the service a lot at a relatively low cost. And then, of course, the bar. I can understand that with so few passengers, CP may be reluctant to pay for someone to provide bar service and that the service itself probably operates at a loss. However, in terms of brand consistency, it would make sense to have it open. Thank you very much for your comment!

@@worldwide.p glad to read that! With such a small network and with 2 lines currently closed for works that isn't a lot left to suggest. I'm assuming you're going to cover Porto's suburban network too like you did for Lisbon. I guess an interesting addition would be Linha do Vouga, the only narrow-gauge still operating in Portugal with some old Sorefame DMUs, it's within reach of Porto's suburban trains. For your own enjoyment I would ride Linha do Douro, Portugal's most scenic line. The interregional trains from Porto to Pocinho usually consist of a combination of old Sorefame and Schindler cars, the later really stand out with nostalgic look and red livery. Also worth riding the rebuilt Arco cars bought from Spain, they have an interesting story having been recently modernised, so the interior should contrast with the old Sorefame. They're technically the most "modern" cars in use right now. If I remember correctly they are being used in the Interregional from Figueira da Foz to Valença. If you're interested in branching out the topic there's a couple of little spoken gems: The funnicular at Bom Jesus in Braga, the Nazaré funicular, and the tram between Sintra and Praia das Maçãs. Railways aside, these are all places worth visiting if you're exploring the country. Regarding the bar, CP had an external company hired to run the bars, but they went bankrupt so there have been some issues in the last year or two. I'm not sure what's going on at the moment, nor if that's the reason here or this route was just unprofitable for a catering employee, even if you ride to Evora it's not a very long journey. But at least vending machines would have been nice.

Thank you so much for your suggestions! The Douro line will be featured very soon. That one is a must for Portuguese railway videos, especially nowadays with the Class 1400s and the Schindler cars. As for the Vouga and the Oporto commuters, that is a work in progress. Yes, they will be featured sometime in the future but not right now. I am waiting for the portion of the Vouga line being currently rebuilt to reopen and then I'll spend some time in the area making a few videos. So, those will be unveiled probably sometime in 2025, I believe. The Arco coaches are something which I haven't remembered so far and I thank you for the idea. A video on them can connect with some ideas that I have for videos in Spain as well. Thank you for the info on the bar situation and for your very detailed and informative comment! :-)

@@worldwide.p you're very welcome! I'll be looking forward to the Douro line video :)

É, sem dúvida, uma boa ideia e será feito nalgum momento. 🙂

I aim to please! 🙂 I believe you'll enjoy my next three videos, then, trip reports in Portugal. Thank you for your comment! Cheers!

@@bvrailfan4717 WOW! Many, many thanks! 😁

Thanks! Hope you keep enjoying the videos! Cheers!

Thanks!!

Thanks! Very kind! 🙂

Thank you! It's indeed a must! Truly recommend going there and spending an afternoon.

Loved filming it and it was quite fun with trains coming from both directions at the same time more than once.

Wow, thanks!

Thanks! 🙂

Thanks! Unfortunately it was running at almost idle throttle. When going at full throttle their noise is something almost unreal. They could be called "Portuguese Drums", a Portuguese version of the German Class 120 (DR) or Class 220 after the reunification.

Thank you! Please share! Cheers!

Thanks! Very kind! 🙂
