Infraestruturas de Portugal (IP) said that, due to "works to improve the safety and efficiency of the railway structure at São Pedro do Estoril," it is necessary to "close this section for two consecutive weekends."

The work, carried out as part of the track modernisation process, "has as its main objectives to provide the Cascais Line with higher levels of efficiency and safety," IP said in a joint statement with Comboios de Portugal (CP).

To mitigate the impact of the line closure, CP will provide buses whose timetables and stops can be consulted at www.cp.pt
