The railway station... Monte Gordo.. Portugal.

Taking a nosy around.. as I was..a lone figure wanders the platform of the seemingly unused 'Monte Gordo' rail station.. but it is far from unused. The office - toilets and waiting rooms are long closed and sealed up.. but a timetable is in place and passengers regularly arrive to travel along the single rail which runs from the town of 'Villa Real de Santa Antonio' in the East - all the way - via Faro - to 'Lagos' the most Western stopping point...a total of 135 km - 86.7 miles. We used the train service ourselves.. going from 'Monte Gordo' to 'Tavira' .. a most comfortable journey of around 35 minutes.
