open-in-new
<p>In <a href="/facts/Railway/9nJQbsDV">railway</a> and <a href="/facts/Rapid_transit/bbhkQbAW">rapid transit</a> parlance, the Spanish solution is a station layout with two <a href="/facts/Railway_platform/vdMzCmJ3">railway platforms</a>, one on each side of the track, which allows for separate platforms for boarding and alighting. </p><p>The "Spanish solution" is used in several stations of the <a href="/facts/Madrid_Metro/y6lh2jVh">Madrid Metro</a> (e.g. <a href="/facts/Avenida_de_Am%25C3%25A9rica_(Madrid_Metro)/ggEq0aFe">Avenida de América</a>) and <a href="/facts/Barcelona_Metro/fqUjmpCE">Barcelona Metro</a> (e.g. <a href="/facts/Sant_Andreu_(Barcelona_Metro)/8wxoMtjF">Sant Andreu</a>). </p>
