South of the Tagus river, the main cities of Faro, Evora, and Beja are all linked to Lisbon by rail, but direct connections are between them are virtually non-existent.
So, does this mean that a railway linking only a city with 100, 000 people with one that has 80, 000 is not something other European countries have?
