on July 31, 2011Mr. Plumb should be awarded an honorary portuguese citizenship. Your slides (and your friends') are amongst the best records available of the late steam/ early diesel era in Portugal. Highly commended collection!

on February 10, 2012Sadly this is no longer the case the track was taken up in 2009 to be replaced. It was not so and as from 1 January 2012 the replacement bus service was stopped and service between Régua and Vila Real closed permanently. Similarly the services to Amarante and Mirandela have been lost.
