Trofa
The station of town of Trofa has not been reconstructed during the renovation in 2004. This station is one of stops of "intercidade" trains connecting north of Portugal with Lisbon and the south. Nowadays situation of the station can show us what were the condition of the line before renovation in 2004.
The station consists of one main building, two platforms (2 tracks) adapted to present conditions and one platform without operation (looks more like cargo platform - with high roof). There is a space for possible renovation - for parking, bus stop, overpass (underpass).
Connection to other kinds of transport (especially buses) is very limited. Passengers have to move to the nearest bus stop to the town centre. And because the Trofa station is one of stations of intercity trains, demand for bus connection to another parts of town or to near villages exists.
