Hi @Allisonmain, I don't know whether you are still waiting for the train from Soto de Luiña to Novellana. I posted a reply twice and then deleted it, again first because I had assumed that it is only one track (there are two tracks) and then because I simply wasn't sure on which side these trains ride - por la izquierda or por la derecha? I would be as puzzled as you are. I made a screenshot from Google Streetview although you are apparently already familiar with the surroundings. Best of luck and please let us know that you had chosen the correct platform. Was there perhaps some useful information on the poster in the green shelter?Hello, I have to cut short my walk today to do some business so I’m going to take the train from Soto de Luiña to Novellana. It is a small town there’s no one here besides me and I don’t know which track to stand on. I know where I’m going, but I don’t know whether I’m standing on the station side of the track or walking across the track to stand on the other side, is there a way to know?
Beware! Trains often go on the left. They certainly do in Spain and France even where cars go on the right.If there is no signage the only way I can think of is that the trains, just like cars, travel on the right. So if you look at Google Maps you should be able to figure out which side to stand on.
Edited to Add: if it's a single track, and there is no platform on the other side, just stay on the station side. The carriages should have doors on both sides
Wow, so they swap according to the individual line that they're on? I only used the train in Spain twice and on both occasions it ran on the right as they do here in Germany. (Other than when something is happening on the lines of course).Beware! Trains often go on the left. They certainly do in Spain and France even where cars go on the right.
If you look at the yellow sign, one way points to Ferrol, the other points to Gijón/Oviedo with arrows. This will show you which way the train is going.Hi @Allisonmain, I don't know whether you are still waiting for the train from Soto de Luiña to Novellana.

Yes, I saw of course which way the train is going to Ferrol and which way the train is going to Gijon/Oviedo. And I saw of course that there are two tracks with two platforms. But what I continue to see, and that is the issue for me and presumably for the OP, is the fact that the two signs are identical on both platforms.If you look at the yellow sign, one way points to Ferrol, the other points to Gijón/Oviedo with arrows.

Hi AlisonI know where I’m going, but I don’t know whether I’m standing on the station side of the track or walking across the track to stand on the other side, is there a way to know?
Thank you for this link. I wasn't going to comment anymore but I am making an exceptionI recommend anyone using trains in Spain to use the ADIF app. ADIF run all the stations and have details of them on their website and app - including the next train arrivals/departures.
