| Apr 27, 2023 at 22:47 | comment | added | Graffito | @Henry : more precisely "direction of travel". | |

| Apr 27, 2023 at 10:54 | comment | added | Henry | "Direction" might help in some cases | |
| Apr 27, 2023 at 10:08 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | Essentially, you're asking for a reasonably narrowly defined single word hypernym (Wiktionary includes phrases as hypernyms) for ['arrival' and 'departure']. I think you'll only find unhelpfully broad ones. 'Comings and goings' is a fairly informal idiomatic phrase. | |
| Apr 27, 2023 at 7:56 | comment | added | Stuart F | Colloquially I might ask "Is that train coming or going?" if I'm not sure if it's getting ready for departure or has just pulled in and is staying there. | |

Added more clarification

| Apr 27, 2023 at 4:52 | comment | added | holydragon | @alphabet Ok. So, I will add a new information, which is the station related to the train. Therefore, it will boil down to whether the train "depart from" or "arrive at" the specific station. | |
| Apr 27, 2023 at 4:47 | comment | added | alphabet | The issue, of course, is that typically any train at any station will both arrive at and later depart from it. | |
