Porto Campanhã
This is the largest station of the line. It provides service from urban trains (Guimarães, Braga, Caíde and Avero lines), inter regional trains, IC trains to the most modern Alfa Pendular trains - compare to São Bento station which serves just passengers of urban trains and several interregional trains. The station has great possilities of connection to other types of transport. Passengers can use metro, buses, taxi or large parking to continue on their journey.
There are several services in the station building:
- café
- photo machine
- 2x ATM
- snack machines (especially on platforms)
- minibar on 1st platform
- WC, newspaper agent
- 8 platforms
The station is uselessly too large. Especially terminal platforms with 6 tracks that are placed next to the metro station are almost always empty. The station´s surroundings are different. One part of the station (the station building, metro station) neighbours with the typicall city area with block of flats, shops, services (especially cafés) in the R. de Pinto Bessa street but the second part of the station is located almost in the edge of the city. One can see parts of the city (Gondomar, Valbom) thanks to the no big buildings in this city part.
There is also a great view of a football stadium of FC Porto from platforms (see the pictures below).
