Comboios de Portugal Restores Train Service After Heat Wave

Comboios de Portugal announced that train operations will return to normal on Monday as extreme temperatures subside. The company will implement preventive measures, including managing seat occupancy on long‑distance routes and blocking ticket sales for critical services. Additional steps include providing water at stations, keeping train curtains closed when parked, and maintaining climate control where feasible. The temporary suspensions earlier in the week were due to heat‑related risks affecting signalling, catenary, and other essential infrastructure, prompting coordination with civil protection authorities.
