Comboios de Portugal (CP) class 5600 electric locomotive 5618 at Porto Campanhã ready to work train IC720, 09:59 from Braga, 10:38 Porto Campanhã to Lisboa Santa Apolónia. This train was delayed by overrunning engineering works, a similar problem to a week ago on the PTG tour, but not as bad. I had the mandatory reservation for this train but I couldn\'t find the correct coach so got on anyway. Just visible to the right is an Alfa Pendular set I didn\'t pay much attention to at the time, but it turned out it was train 20750, a relief train to IC720, and that was where my reserved seat was! I changed from IC720 to 20750 at Espinho, and still made my connection at Entroncamento.
