Nowadays, the services from the Azambuja and Sintra lines are joined in a single timetable, as "Azambuja/Lisboa/Sintra".CP, "Azambuja / Lisboa / Sintra – summary [timetable]" {{cite web |url=http://www.cp.pt/StaticFiles/CP/Imagens/PDF/Passageiros/horarios/lisboa/cartazresumo_str_az.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=31 August 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101011012316/http://www.cp.pt/StaticFiles/CP/Imagens/PDF/Passageiros/horarios/lisboa/cartazresumo_str_az.pdf |archive-date=11 October 2010 }} (in Portuguese).
