CP Class 9500

Nine were constructed in the late 1990s (with new bodywork and new Volvo engines) from the chassis of Yugoslav-built, former Série 9700 railcars.

With the closure of most of the Tua line in 2008 and the entirety of the Corgo and Tâmega lines in 2009, as of 2012 only two of the nine railcars built remain in use, although they are currently out of service for maintenance after the closure of the Metro de Mirandela.

[1] Given that funding for the Metro de Mirandela project had been given by the European Union the railcars were named Lisboa, Paris, Estrasburgo (Strasbourg) and Bruxelas (Brussels).

The railcar Bruxelas was subsequently destroyed in an accident in January 2007.

The other five railcars have been sold to Inca Rail in Peru and regauged to 914 mm (former 3 ft gauge).
