History
The Mondim de Basto railway station was part of the section of the Tâmega line between Celorico de Basto and Arco de Baúlhe, which was inaugurated on 15 January 1949, by the Portuguese Railway Company.[1]
Due to the reduced traffic,[2] the section between Arco de Baúlhe and Amarante was closed to service on 2 January 1990, as part of a restructuring plan by the CP.[3]
After three decades of abandonment and structural decay, the Celorico de Basto city council restored the station and its azulejos, being inaugurated on 5 March 2023.[4]
