Train from Lisbon to porto

[always me]

We will be in Lisbon for 2 days and will take a train to Porto on May 14. Is there a specific train station we start from in Lisbon?

Hi, a week ago I took the train from Lisbon Oriente to Porto Campanhã station where you can switch to the metro, there are several lines there, I went straight to Matosinhos.

I chose the Alfa Pendular (AP) train as it's a bit faster and bought my ticket online at www.cp.pt to avoid confusion at the station.

Hi there. I booked the (AP) as well. They have an offer where if you book in advance you get the ticket for 56% discount.
"If you buy Alfa Pendular or Intercidades tickets at least 5 days in advance, you can get up to 56% off. If you buy at least 8 days in advance the discounts can be as big as 65%.
The advance period is counted from the journey day, up to a limit of 60 days, for all destinations."

We are leaving from Lisboa - Santa Apolonia because it closest to where we are staying in Lisbon. Getting off at Porto Campanhã to catch the Metro.
