Three people in different parts of the country died in the space of 24 hours after being hit by trains.
The victims were a 50 year old woman in Alhandra, described as crossing the line with her husband after a stint fishing in the Tejo, a man in Valongo and a 73-year-old pensioner in Portimão, Algarve.
In the first incident, the husband “saw the train approaching” and leapt to safety.
