The route from Famalicao to Barroselas is primarily served by the Comboios de Portugal (CP) train services, including the Intercidades and Regional trains. The Intercidades service operates at speeds up to 160 km/h (99 mph) and offers a direct journey to Barroselas, taking approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes with fewer stops. The Regional trains, on the other hand, are a bit slower, traveling at speeds around 120 km/h (75 mph) and completing the journey in approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes, as they make several stops in smaller towns along the way.
While both train types provide comfortable seating and basic amenities, the Intercidades option is typically preferred for its faster travel time. Regional trains, however, may offer better access to additional towns, providing an opportunity for travelers to experience more of the surrounding areas.
