The train service between Ovar and Ancora-Praia is primarily operated by the regional Comboios de Portugal (CP) trains. The journey features the Intercidades service, which connects various regional destinations with a comfortable ride. This train typically runs at speeds of around 100 km/h (62 mph) and completes the journey in approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes, making a few key stops along the way. Unlike high-speed routes, this service does not offer exceptionally fast travel times but provides an efficient connection between these two locations. The Intercidades trains are equipped with standard seating and basic amenities while maintaining a spacious environment for passengers. As an alternative, the local regional trains can also be found on this route, but they generally have longer travel times and more stops, making the Intercidades a preferred option for travelers seeking better speed without compromising on comfort.
