Infra-Estruturas de Portugal estimates that €253 million are needed to reduce the travelling time between Lisbon and Faro by train by half an hour.
According to Público Newspaper, this hypothesis appears in a study they had access to and in the document, two more hypotheses are defined to improve the Southern Line: reducing the trip by 20 minutes at a cost of €160 million and reducing by 10 minutes costing a further €75 million.
Additionally, Infra-Estruturas de Portugal also presents the possibility of building a new line between Funcheira and Loulé, in which passengers could save between 35 and 40 minutes. In this scenario, the cost is expected to vary between €451 and €504 mi
