This was a test to verify the correctness of the circulation system with two units per train, which was not possible previously.
Agualva-Cacém
The station, normally known as Cacém, was inaugurated in 1887. Previously, there was a station of the Larmanjat system, between 1873 and 1877. At its height, it had 7 lines. Currently the station has 4 lines and two boarding platforms. It also has a bus station, access to two car parks and a taxi rank.
// Accessibility
The station is accessible to passengers in wheelchairs by ramp, elevator, or direct access. Inside there is an accessible WC. Access to the platforms is via elevators.
At the station there are audible and visual announcements. This station does not have a tactile floor.
CP2300/CP2400
These are the railcars that mainly serve the Sintra Line and started operating in 1993. Initially, a problem was detected with the excessive height of these trains, which led to the addition of a step slightly below the doors. While the 2300 series did not have air conditioning, when the extra 2400 series was purchased, air conditioning was required, which was later also installed on the 2300 series.
// Accessibility
These railcars are accessible to wheelchair passengers via fixed ramps inside the trains. There is 1 seat for wheelchair passengers. There are audible and visual announcements. Sound announcements are often broken or inactive.
CP3500
The CP3500 are the only two-decker railcars in circulation in Portugal, like their Fertagus twins. Manufactured by Alstom/CAF, they entered service in 1998, initially with green, red and white paintwork. In 2011, a renovation process began at CP, which changed the painting to red and dark grey. These railcars reach 140km/h and have a capacity for 886 passengers.
// Accessibility
These railcars have space for two passengers in a wheelchair, located in the middle of the train (in the latest version). Access is via portable ramps. There are audible and visual announcements on board.
