Sai às 09:00.

It leaves at 09:00.

Language note: Common pattern: “Sai às…” / “Parte às…” Both work; “sair” is more everyday.

Culture note: If you’re asking staff, giving the time first can help: “O das 09:00 sai de que linha?” (Which platform does the 09:00 leave from?)

Context: The clerk gives the full sentence with the time.
