Jardim do Morro station

Jardim do Morro is a light rail station on line D of the Porto Metro system in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal. It is situated on the Avenida da República immediately to the south of the upper level of the Dom Luís I Bridge, which the trains use to cross over the Douro river from Porto. It is adjacent to the Jardim do Morro, the Serra do Pilar Monastery and the upper station of the Gaia Cable Car. The initial section of line D, including Jardim do Morro station, opened on 17 September 2005, with trains initially running between Câmara de Gaia, to the south, and Pólo Universitário to the north. The line has since been extended from Câmara de Gaia to Vila d’Este, and from Pólo Universitário to Hospital de São João. The station is preceded by São Bento and followed by General Torres stations. On weekdays, trains run every five to six minutes, declining to every 10 minutes on weekends and evenings. The station platforms are on the surface, and there are two through tracks, each served by a side platform.
