[9] In December of that same year, a commission made up of people from Portugal and Spain was created to fight for the reopening of the link between Pocinho and Barca d'Alva of the Douro line.

It contains a number of azulejos, tin glazed ceramic tiles produced by Gilberto Renda[10] and J. Oliveira, showing scenes of daily life in the surrounding region.

[2] The Comboio Presidencial, a train that used to carry the Head of State of Portugal through the Douro line since 1890, had the Pocinho station as its last stop until the 1970s.

[26] In 1939, the National Railway Company, who managed the Sabor line, carried out remodelling work on the Traction, Workshop and Movement Services buildings and on the reservoir at Pocinho station.

[27] A decree published in Diário do Governo on 5 March 1953 authorised the expropriation of several plots of land next to Pocinho station, to enable it to be altered and expanded.

[29] On 16 and 17 May 1995, a government commission made a trip to the northern and central regions of the country to inspect work taking place on the National Road Network.

[30] On 30 April 1884 the General Council of the District of Bragança sent a representation to the Chamber of Deputies asking for the construction of the lines from Foz Tua to Mirandela and from Pocinho to Miranda do Douro.

[32] In 1899 the engineer Cachapuz, who represented a company of Italian financiers, asked the state for permission to build several railway lines in Portugal, one of which was from Pocinho to Moncorvo [pt].

[35] In 1901, Minister Manuel Francisco de Vargas started a tendering process for the construction of the Pocinho Bridge, which was to be used by rail and road, and the contract was signed in 1903.

[40] In the 1950s there was a big increase in traffic on the Sabor line, with two to four ore trains a day from the Reboredo mines to Pocinho, where it was transhipped into broad gauge wagons and then transported to the Port of Leixões, bound for the United Kingdom.

[44] On 25 December of the same year, a major landslide occurred on the Douro line between Tua and Pocinho stations, interrupting traffic on that section.

[47] In April 2011, Ricardo Magalhães, the coordinator of the Douro Mission[48] (organisation created to preserve the Alto Douro Wine Region landscape),[49][50] campaigned for the reopening of the link from Pocinho to Barca d'Alva and the Spanish border, arguing that this would be of great interest from a regional point of view, due to its positive impact on tourism.

[51] At the time, the initiative to reopen the line already had the support of the Spanish government and would include local municipalities, the regional administration, promoters of tourism and the wine industry.

[51] In November 2016, the Left Bloc party criticized the poor state of the Douro line and the reduction in services on that route, advocating works on the stations and the electrification of the stretch to Régua, before continuing on to Pocinho and the border.

[42] In October 2019, the mayor of Peso da Régua, José Manuel Gonçalves, questioned the company Trains of Portugal about a planned cancellation of Regional and Inter-Regional services on the Douro line, including three daily Inter-Regional trains in each direction between Peso da Régua and Pocinho, and was assured that the operator was not planning to suspend any services on the line.
