Business class on Portugal's high speed Train! (Porto - Lisbon)

In this video, we'll be travelling on Portugal's high speed train, Alfa Pendular, from Porto to Lisbon. We'll be travelling in business class, which will give us a luxurious experience as we travel through the Portugal countryside.
If you're looking to see some of Portugal's stunning countryside, then this is the video for you! As we travel through the beautiful countryside, be sure to take in all the sights and sounds of this amazing country! Though it didn't quite turn out the way I had hoped as we were covered in a blanket of rain which made filming out the window very hard on this amazing alfa pendular high speed train.
The Alfa Pendular high speed train is portugal's only high speed service with many more planned in the future, the alfa pendular is unique for high speed trains as it is one of the high speed trains that are designed to work on both high speed rail line and conventional rail tracks. This is achieved by Alfa Pendulars ability to tilt or bank when traveling at high speed. This tilting train really is amazing!

What do you think? Is the Alfa Pendular good value for money?

[@badgerattoadhall]

I really enjoy the alfa pendular. I have been to Portugal two times, and have utilized it on both trips.
The last time I did a Porto to Faro, about 6 hours on the train.
What fun!!

What a fantastic, even if it was wet, way to see some of the Portuguese countryside. Train looked vey comfortable and well worth the extra cost, I’d say. Looking forward to your next adventure and hope it’s a bit drier for you, Dom

Glad you enjoyed it

Those new high speed trains in Portugal are so beautiful and fast. As always keep up the good work. 😊

Great train with a fantastic fare !

[@WorldWide_Dom]

Indeed it is! I hope they continue as planned with bringing in more of them.

[@alexandertodd4347]

Seems unbelievable value!

[@WorldWide_Dom]

It really is! Wish I stayed awake to check out the cafe car though 😅

[@robertofraser101]

Excellent value train journey. Great vlog shame not a little longer. Top Marks. Don't know what's happening with the sound recently.

[@WorldWide_Dom]

Working on it. The new GoPro doesn’t have a great microphone, I’m currently looking at other microphone options.

The train is a beauty, as ive seen it in another video. Seats look luxurious, with a TV too. Scenery is not Scotland 😉 I have no idea what 220 km/h and 48 euros is, but it sounds good. Excellent video, and hope your sound has dried out now.

[@WorldWide_Dom]

Was a very comfortable seat and I got quite a bit of kip in it. 😁 Converted its around, £43 and 140Mph. The sound was from the new GoPro, not really used to it but I'm working on a different sound solution that should be up and running shortly.

6:53 correction: Every train stops at lisboa oriente since its the 2nd biggest station in the country, the onyl reason it terminates at santa apolonia and not in lisboa oriente its bcs lisboa oriente does not has enough terminating platformas for that, else they woud therminate there

[@kitabulu]

Not a proper "high-speed" service (speeds above 250km/h), but a "higher-speed" regular service. Portugal is planning to build a proper High-Speed line between Porto and Lisbon

[@novaialm2832]

Well 230km/h its not that far away so I think its fair to consider it as a high speed train, and the train is able to get 250km/h but it only operates at 220-230 km/h

[@davidglen110]

Was there a free snack service for being in business class ? I take it that's the sort of same as first class in uk?

[@WorldWide_Dom]

There was a buffet car when you could order something but I kind of fell asleep before getting a chance to get something. Apologies for that 😅

[@john07973]

Presumably there was no Business Class lounge at Porto ?

[@WorldWide_Dom]

To be honest I didn't even check, I got there 45 mins before the train and it was so crowded for such a little building that I just tried to find a somewhat quite place to wait 😅 In hindsight I should have checked.

[@john07973]

@@WorldWide_Dom Yes I now realise I watched them out of order, train first then wine tasting and long walk through Porto second !
