Trindade (station)

Trindade (station)

Trindade is a station on the Porto Metro system in Porto, Portugal.

The modern metro station was built on the site of the former Trindade railway station, which was the central terminus for services to Porto from Trofa and Povoa do Varzim. Trindade was also the main entry point for the tunnelling machine which excavated the tunnels for Line D in central Porto.

It is the only station where lines A, B, C and E (which run as one line within the metropolitan area) intersect with line D. It is in the centre of Porto and is the busiest station in the system by passenger numbers. In 2004, 14.8% of all ticket validations on the network were made at Trindade, down from 23.7% the previous year due to the opening of the Bolhão and Estadio do Dragao stations, but still comfortably the highest.

On Line ABCE it is preceded by Bolhão and followed by Lapa, while on Line D it is preceded by Aliados and followed by Faria Guimaraes. The platforms for the ABCE line are at ground level, while the line D trains are underground. The station entrance and lower concourse are often used for fundraising and promotional events.

The station was designed by the renowned Portuguese architect Eduardo Souto de Moura.
