Stations with central tracks, platforms on either side: Do trains always arrive/depart on left, or right?

That does have the advantage that passengers alight on the usual side.

It does indeed, and optimum for signal sighting, but is still non-standard for the area.

In all my years of rail travel. I had not thought about which side of the rails our trains run on. I have often thought about those funny information plates below the platform. Do not worry I have read what they are.

I will now pay more attention to which side of the tracks my train is running. It is interesting. Thank you to the OP.

Thank you for the information regarding the way Worcester works.

There are a few places on the Continent where trams, with doors on the right hand side only, have to serve island platforms on segregated sections. This is done by swapping the tracks so they run on the left.

IIRC the Mumbles Railway cars only had doors on the landward side.

I am guessing the weather might have had something to do with choosing the landward rather than seaward side!
