hi,

We are taking the train from Madrid to Leon, and then have a quick change for the Astorga train.

Is Leon a large station with many platforms?

We only have 7 minutes to find the right platform for the Astorga train....

Can't find any information online about the station layout and what trains leave from what platforms....

That's a great map, whariwharangi. Looks like Robo will come in on track 2 or 4 and have to make his way over to track 3. I am sure you will have enough time, this must be a scheduled transfer.

Yes. It's a scheduled transfer. But it will help to know here we are going rather than stumble around like lost sheep

You shouldn't have a problem with a transfer as long as you can carry your stuff. Just up a stair and down a stair. The Leon train station is pretty simple. If you see a conductor, ask for the transfer platform, They usually know in advance
