Day 7 of the PTG trip: no railtour today, but tickets were provided for service trains on the Douro Valley line to Pocinho. Enthusiasts familiar with the line had told me that it was very scenic, but I am always wary of this as I've travelled over some very scenic lines in the Balkans. However the line didn't disappoint, there was some opportunity for exploring old lines, and all to the accompaniment of English Electric 8CVST action on all the trains. An excellent day.
