Please Help! Train Travel in Portugal
We are traveling in Portugal in July. I have hotels booked in several cities and am trying to figure out how to use trains to get from one to the other. I am stymied! I went to www.cp.pt, but I can't seem to access schedules. If anyone can help, I can provide the places we need to travel to/from. Thank you!

Yes except for the main rail line Faro (Algarve)-Lisbon-Coimbra-Porto buses IME are a better bet - but for any place on the main rail line then trains are faster and have improved greatly in the past few years

Most of the timetables are available for download in pdf format from the http://www.cp.pt site.
Also, if you go to my blog at:

Scroll down on the right hand panel until you come to the section entitled:
»» Algarve & Portugal - Travel Transport Links
You will find links to the Portuguese Railways Porto/Lisbon/Faro and Algarve Lines Train Timetables in pdf format.
