InTramCities with Gordon Stewart
A bus at the foot of the steep, but straight run down Rua da Alecrim from Camoes to Cais Sodre. The track is disconnected from the "Riverside" line. |
A| bus provides the service on Rua da Alecrim at Largo Baro Quintela |
Seen from the Camoes end, the track is also disconnected from those of line 28 although the track leading north is connected to the Camoes loop |
Looking north into Rua da Misericordia, the existing arrangement can be seen clearly |
Although a bus is in service, track and overhead in Misericordia await the possible reintroduction of trams. |
