I've heard great reports of the Alfa Pendular tilting trains in Portugal, so I was really looking forward to an afternoon ride from Porto to Lisbon. This is undoubtedly Comboios de Portugal's flagship service and we are travelling 1st Class. So let's hope it is impressive!

One thing we can be sure of before we start is that it is a beautiful January day and therefore the views of Portugal's towns and countryside on the journey will be excellent.
