The train service connecting Fundao to Castelo Branco is primarily operated by the Alfa Pendular, a modern intercity train that ensures a smooth journey between these two locations in Portugal. This service typically reaches speeds of up to 160 km/h (99 mph) and completes the trip in approximately 30 minutes, allowing quick access between the towns.
For those looking for a scenic option, the regional trains, while slower, provide a more intimate view of the Portuguese countryside, taking around 45 minutes to cover the same distance.
Both services offer comfortable seating and the Alfa Pendular includes amenities such as air conditioning and restrooms, making for a pleasant trip. The choice between the Alfa Pendular and regional trains depends on your preference for speed versus a more leisurely travel experience.
