Is 12 minutes enough time to make that connection?
Thanks in advance,

Yes, there is time, don't worry.

In fact, there is enough time to buy a coffee from the platform kiosk.

Our train arrived in Tunes at 13:00, this photo has a time on it of 13:05, and our next train left at 13:13!

Hi Neve, the railway station in Lagos is near the Marina, which you have to walk through to get to the bus station the other side (for the bus to Sagres). If it’s a nice sunny day, be sure to spend some time in Lagos, as it is quite stunning. There are some nice restaurants on the right, as you enter the Marina from the railway station. I don’t have a photo of my own, but here is one from the internet.

We are used to take a rede-expressos.pt bus from either Lisbon 7 Rios or Oriente to Lagos. Single fare 19 Euros; direct trip 4 1/2 hours (direct to Albufeira, then all stops to Lagos). FWIW in your case.

Thank you Fraluchi!!! I think , if I did it correctly that I booked the train for a Promo of 9 Euros each!!!!
Another forum member glanced at my plea to help me validate that and appears I did it correctly, though some site had the cost at $80 Each....
It was difficult to decide bus vs train, but my girls voted train!
*** Edited to add, I don't know where I posted that question as now I don't see it, but meant for it to go under this RV sub thread...
