I travelled from Faro to Lisbon by train in mid-July and was really impressed. The train was on time, the seats were very comfortable and the compartment was not overcrowded. It was very pleasant in the weather and the journey went by very quickly. The staff were also very friendly. A really relaxing and recommendable journey, as the view from the train of the Portuguese countryside is unique. Very good for the price.

Not a bad journey with lots of little amenities, like wifi or power sockets. The first thing I was pleased with was that the train was on time and I had plenty of legroom. Unfortunately, the train was a bit older and therefore louder than I'm used to, which was a bit annoying, but otherwise everything was fine.
