History

The line number 15 was in 1912 reserved for a line Infante - Praça da Ribeira - Ribeira - lower deck of the Ponte Dom Luis I - VN de Gaia. Although tracks and overhead wires were put in place until the Porto end of the bridge, the line never opened.
On 14 December 1941 a new circular route was opened in the eastern part of the city. This line did get the number 15 for the anti-clockwise direction and 15/ for the clockwise direction. The indication 15E was used for a variation of the anti-clockwise route.
Starting 1960 the lines 15 & 15E were linked with line 6, line 15/ with the lines 3 & 4.
Line 15 closed 23 July 1967.
