BE calls for intervention at the Vila Real train station

The Bloco de Esquerda (BE) has raised concerns about the deteriorating condition of the Vila Real train station, which has been closed since 2009. They questioned the government regarding the damage caused by recent bad weather and the risk of structural collapse. The BE emphasized the lack of action on previous commitments to restore the station, which holds historical significance. They also highlighted that while the surrounding area received investment for improvements, the station itself remains neglected. The party seeks clarity on the status of a proposed rehabilitation project announced in 2017 and urges the government to take urgent measures for its recovery, linking it to the potential reopening of the Corgo Line, which has received parliamentary support.
