Este comboio termina em Alvalade | Metro de Lisboa

Between the 15th and 26th of April, Alvalade station will once again be a terminal for Lisbon Metro trains. The works for the Circular Line forced the circulation to be cut off from this station, in order to make the necessary changes to the line. In these days, it was possible to see trains finishing services again, just like when it was inaugurated. More information at: https://lisboaparapessoas.pt/2023/04/...
