I would say it runs between 11am and 8 or 9pm, but don't quote me on that.

Are you suggesting that it can be used as a Taxi service? My understanding was that it does not stop to pick up or drop off passengers apart from in the main square due to considerable resistance from the local taxi drivers

No, you can't get on and off - you have to do the round trip!

The were posts on this forum in April - titled "tourist train" which mentioned that the train didn't stop en route.

Tom Gibson's right - it used to stop and oick up/set down passengers, until the taxi drivers or owners cut up rough about it. Now it can only take passengers on a round trip, I believe. :cry:

I was on this train last week, you are right in saying it doesnt stop. It goes from the town then round the back of the Rocha Brava resort then back again. 3 Euros per person

As I recall, RB operates it's own shuttle.

Yes RB does have its own very reliable shuttle service into the town. It runs two or three times a day. I'm not sure of the times currently but do doubt reception will be able to advise
