Departure indicator for Regional train 12441, 19:50 from Santiago de Compostela to Vigo Guixar via Portela; the train started at A Coruña. I will take this train to Vigo. This train, and a working in the opposite direction at about the same time, are the only trains scheduled to call at Portela, which is on a significant loop off the main line. Bizarrely this train is shown in the timetables as only calling at Portela on request, though as the train was "Driver Only" operated it's not clear how that would work; in practice the train called at Portela but no-one boarded or alighted.
