Important
tips:
1)
If
you’re
traveling
on
a
Friday,
Saturday
or
Sunday
get
to
the
station
***at
least***
30
minutes
before
your
scheduled
train
departure
-
lines
were
very
long
for
both
the
ticket
machines
and
the
ticket
windows.
We
got
here
20
minutes
early
and
still
missed
the
train
because
of
the
long
ticket
lines.
Tickets
and
trains
to
Sintra
are
on
the
second
floor.
Take
both
of
the
escalators
up.
****If
you
are
buying
tickets
to
Sintra
using
the
machines,
be
aware
that
everyone
needs
to
buy
their
own
ticket
separately
-
if
you
buy
multiple
round
trips
in
a
single
transaction
they
all
end
up
on
one
card,
which
cannot
be
passed
through
the
entry
turnstile
multiple
times.
We
found
this
out
the
hard
way
and
wasted
some
money
when
buying
round
trip
tickets
for
4
people.
In
summary:
each
person
needs
to
do
a
separate
transaction
on
the
ticket
machine
to
get
their
own
separate
ticket*****
Once
you
have
your
ticket
and
make
it
through
the
turnstile,
you
may
encounter
closed
doors
on
the
train
sitting
at
the
platform.
You
have
to
hit
the
green
button
on
the
side
of
the
train
car
near
each
door
to
open
the
door,
and
some
of
them
don’t
work.
Keep
trying
until
you
find
one
that
works.
Get
a
seat
on
the
train
early.
We
did,
and
every
seat
was
taken,
(with
multiple
standees)
by
the
time
the
train
departed
the
station.
Overall,
a
fairly
chaotic,
counterintuitive
and
time
consuming
process
compared
to
other
trains
I’ve
taken
in
other
parts
of
the
world.
