On the route from Sete Rios to Sao Joao das Craveiras, travelers can expect service mainly from the Alfa Pendular trains. These trains reach speeds of up to 220 km/h (137 mph) and cover the distance in approximately 2 hours. While not classified as a high-speed service, the Alfa Pendular provides a good balance of speed and comfort with both standard and first-class seating options available.
The train makes several stops along the way, providing access to important cities and regions, perfect for those looking to explore. The onboard amenities include Wi-Fi, power outlets, and dining options for a more pleasant journey. In contrast, the Intercidades trains also operate on this route, typically taking a little longer at around 2 hours and 30 minutes due to more stops. These trains prioritize comfort with spacious seating but do not offer the same speed as the Alfa Pendular. For passengers aiming for a swift and comfortable ride, the Alfa Pendular is recommended, while the Intercidades caters to those who prefer a steadier pace with additional stops.
