April 2023--upcoming rail strike in Portugal

Time of past OR future Camino
None yet; perhaps the Portugese (2021?)
Just an alert that early April seems to be seeing strike action on the railway in Portugal for the next while...this may affect peregrinos!

Which trains will be running during the strike today?

April is going to be complicated for anyone who needs transport, as there is a strike by CP - Comboios de Portugal workers, until the end of the month.

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
I booked a bus ticket in early June on ALSA from Santiago to Porto to fly home. Hope that runs
 
Hi, I had planned on booking train from Lisbon to Porto for travel on April 18. If anyone hears updated info on train strike, would really appreciate hearing it.
Have been told that train trip between Lisbon and Porto is very scenic. Has anyone done that trip by bus? Thinking bus route may not be as scenic?
Will wait a few days to see if any more news on rail strike, as we would like to go by train. Thanks.

Well, it seems there is another one-day strike coming on Wednesday, 31st with a bit of spill-over on the 30th May and June 1 (just when we are arriving, lucky us.)

This time, they seem not to have put the notices on the English-language part of the website, so here it is, with the Portuguese links.

If you're using the services, check out the first two listings:

Alfa Pendular e Intercidades

Regional e InterRegional e Internacional
