CP — Comboios de Portugal (Portuguese Railways)
The state company that runs passenger trains around the country: suburban (urbano), regional (regional), intercity (intercidades) and the fast Alfa Pendular. The tracks and stations belong not to CP but to Infraestruturas de Portugal; CP only runs the trains and sells tickets. Timetables, fares and warnings about closed sections are on cp.pt and in its app.
Where you come across it. Buying a train ticket, checking the timetable, news about lines closed after bad weather.
When a section is closed for repairs, CP usually runs a replacement bus, but it takes longer and does not always leave from the same place: check the timetable for your day of travel, not the standard one.
