Which Portuguese tilting high-speed train is operated by Comboios de Portugal?

The Portuguese tilting high-speed train operated by Comboios de Portugal is Alfa Pendular.

Alfa Pendular is CP’s flagship passenger service and uses Pendolino-based Série 4000 trainsets. The service links major cities along Portugal’s coast, including Braga, Porto, Lisbon, and Faro, making it the country’s principal long-distance high-speed railway offering.

Its defining feature is active tilting: the carriages lean into curves, allowing higher speeds on existing winding track while helping maintain passenger comfort. The train can reach 220 km/h in service, and a test run reached 245.6 km/h in 1998.

The alternatives are different services or train names. Intercidades is CP’s conventional intercity service, while Sud Expresso and Lusitânia are international or overnight-oriented train services rather than the Portuguese tilting high-speed fleet.
