Two separate tickets on the same Navegante card: tap through the metro gates, then buy or validate CP's own ticket again at Rossio.

The fastest CP trains take 40 minutes; roughly every other scheduled departure takes 44 to 54 minutes instead, with a change of its own partway — check which kind a departure is before you plan around it.

Overnight, CP's own trains stop entirely from about 01:01 to 05:41; nothing here bridges that gap.
