Entroncamento transfer time

I have an intercity train IC121 arriving at Entroncamento and I have 12 minutes to get to a regional train RE481
Is 12 minutes enough time to get on board the regional train?
Thanks

Do you mean Entrecampos? The name as you typed it doesn’t match any stations in Lisbon.

If you found the connections on cp.pt., it should be enough time. In my experience, the cp website gives accurate times for transfers.

Entroncamento used to be the biggest train station in Portugal ( number of tracks) , before the existence of the AP , transfers were made in Entroncamento to the difference train lines.
At times it was very chaotic with people rushing from one track to another along with luggage, children,etc, I experienced it myself many times.
It also has a train repair shop ( with the semicircle turnaround).

Presently is still used for transfers to the train lines to Guarda and Elvas.

Transfer times are usually ok just make sure you go to the correct platform, best to ask the staff to the station.

I stand corrected. I had never heard of it after living here nine years. Good to know.
