Train circulation resumed on the Northern Line after signaling failure

SAPO Notícias5 September 2026 at 12:45

Train circulation on the Northern Line was resumed at 12:20, after being interrupted in the Cartaxo area. The interruption was due to a signaling failure.

The information was reported to the Portuguese news agency by the official source from Infraestruturas de Portugal (IP), the entity responsible for managing the national railway infrastructure.

The Northern Line is one of Portugal's main railway lines, connecting Lisbon to Porto and the north of the country. The section affected by the failure is located in the Cartaxo region, in the district of Santarém.

With the repair of the signaling failure, railway traffic was restored, allowing the normal resumption of trains on that line.

An investigation revealed that seven World Central Kitchen humanitarian workers were killed by the Israeli army in Gaza in April 2024 after a misidentification that associated them with Hamas. The attack resulted from a controversial military practice that gives commanders leeway to identify targets based on the alleged association with combatants. Although World Central Kitchen had coordinated the movements of its teams with Israeli forces, a convoy with three international staff members was hit by three rockets, causing deaths of various nationalities. Israel attributed the incident to a misassessment and failures to follow established procedures.
