On 26 September 1910, the civil governor issued a letter to the local authorities in **Vila Real**, asking them to come to the station to prepare for the future visit of [King Manuel II](/wiki/Manuel_II_of_Portugal "Manuel II of Portugal") to the town. This trip was supposed to take place on 5 October of that year, but it didn't happen because of the [Republican revolution](/wiki/5_October_1910_revolution "5 October 1910 revolution").AIRES, 2010:19\-21
