Based on the service disruption on the Carris website, it was on the Glória funicular, which is assigned route number 51E. Sadly, there appears to be a large loss of life.

Olá bom dia ALEGRIA! Tudo bem? It was a busy weekend in Portugal, where Sunday's general election saw the centre right AD alliance return to power, Sporting become the football league champs, 'bicampeões' in fact, on Saturday, and we in São Martinho had a great time, singing, dancing and partying on Saturday night, along with all Sporting fans. (Do you recognise the Sporting fan, pictured, herewith?) Sadly Portugal's Eurovision entry - NAPA - only managed 21st out of the 26 entries. In the election, (third in three years), 'far right' party CHEGA made further parliamentary gains, challenging the bi-party status quo, and reducing the incumbent domination, in an election few really wanted. Expect enforced collaboration, 'horse-trading' for power, or just intransigence in the coming months. In the studio, to start the week this morning, is @Vitor Costa, revolutionary leader of change in the real estate world. Join us at 8.40am. Today's IPMA weather shows a 0% chance of rain in the district of Setúbal, the next leg on our district tour, where you can experience a low of 13°C/56°F and a high of 24°C/78°F Today's www.spartanfx.co.uk rates: A US$ will buy you 0.89 Euros, unchanged; a UK£ will buy you 1.19 Euros, unchanged from last week. Boa semana (-: Sunset tonight: 20:46 Quick question for you: what does 'bicampeões' mean?
