Hello.
My family and I plan to travel by train from Lisbon > Aveiro > Porto on Easter Sunday. I will be near Rossio Station and I can see trains that will work for us on the timetable, but my understanding is that you cannot book trains in advance from Rossio.
Should I book the train from Santa Apolonia or Oriente instead?
Also, does anyone have experience traveling with larger suitcases on Portuguese trains? We would be on an Alfa Pendulum or Intercidades for the bulk of the trip but might need an Urban to get from Rossio to one of the other Lisbon stations. We plan to have two carry-on sized roller bags and one significantly larger suitcase, plus some personal items.
Lastly, thoughts on whether the strike is likely to cause complications?
Thank you!
