Vila das Aves
This station serves the town of Vila das Aves. Location of the station is very good - it is situated in the middle of town, just near the centre. But even if it is almost in the centre, connection with buses is very poor (to understand - impossible).
Simple design and architecture of the station is very efficient. There are almost all what passenger needs. Perhaps that´s a pity the main building is not situated in the opposit side of station, just across the track. Most of passengers come from direction of city centre. I suppose this is the reason of enclosure of a ticket-office and waiting room.
