Traveling from Espinho to Valenca, the train services provided primarily by Comboios de Portugal (CP) offer a mix of regional trains that connect these two towns efficiently. The main service on this route is the Intercidades train, which provides a comfortable and direct journey. The Intercidades trains typically travel at speeds of up to 160 km/h (99 mph), completing the journey in approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, depending on the specific service and any scheduled stops.
While this route does not have high-speed trains like those seen between larger cities in Portugal, the Intercidades service ensures a smooth connection with comfortable seating and amenities onboard, such as restrooms and occasionally a dining car. For travelers looking for a more local experience, the regional trains also operate on this route but may take longer and stop at multiple stations along the way, thus providing more connection options to smaller towns.
