A Câmara Municipal de Coruche desenvolveu diligências junto da CP e da REFER para que em conjunto com os municípios de Salvaterra de Magos e Cartaxo, fosse possível activar a circulação diária de passageiros entre Coruche e Lisboa, promovendo assim o real aproveitamento dos investimentos já efectuados no ramal Vendas Novas – Setil. Em 22 de Julho de 2009 foi assinado o protocolo “Serviço de Transporte Ferroviário de Passageiros entre Coruche e Lisboa”, entre a CP – Comboios de Portugal, E.P., a Rede Ferroviária Nacional – REFER E.P.E.
