Asking about alternatives after a cancelled train in Spanish

The idea

State that the train was cancelled and ask about another connection, its departure and any platform or ticket change.

Examples

• Mi tren se ha cancelado.My train has been cancelled.
• ¿Cuál es la siguiente conexión?What is the next connection?
• ¿Debo cambiar de andén?Do I need to change platforms?
• ¿Necesito otro billete?Do I need another ticket?
• ¿A qué hora sale?What time does it leave?
• ¿Dónde puedo consultar cambios?Where can I check for changes?

Watch out

Do not assume an existing ticket is valid on another service; ask staff what applies to your journey.
