The station Porto Trindade is a former station several narrow gauge lines in the Portuenser downtown, today it serves as a stop for the Porto Metro . This is where all six lines (A – F) of the tram, which opened in 2002, cross.
The route of the original narrow-gauge railway is now used by metro lines A, B, C, E and F. The trains on these lines stop at the two through tracks on the surface in the newly built station building designed by the Portuguese architect Eduardo Souto de Moura . In the above-ground part there is also a stump track. From this above-ground part, short pedestrian tunnels lead to the two underground side platforms of Line D. The design is kept relatively simple in exposed concrete and glass. Outside the building there is a bus stop and not far away is the connecting tunnel between the routes of line D and lines A, B, C, E and F.
Before the station was used by today's light rail, Trindade was the central station for narrow-gauge traffic to Trofa and Póvoa de Varzim . In Trindade, construction began in July 2000 for the tunnel for line D of the subway.
Trindade is the most used station of the Metro do Porto, 14.8% of the tickets were bought here in 2004. Before the opening of the Bolhão and Estadio do Dragão stations, the proportion was even 23.7%. In 2005, almost twice as many travelers use the Metro do Porto with almost 18.5 million passengers.
