Changing trains in Madrid (Atocha)

I will be changing trains on a Friday in Madrid. Is 35 minutes a long enough time to get to a train bound for Toledo?

Plenty of time. It is a big station and you do have light security for each platform but it is well mark so just find the next platform.

Just to tag onto Frank's post , if I remember , the Toledo train leaves from the lower level , be aware of that possibility .

Steven is probably correct but I am always reluctant to suggest where the platform is because it can be changed - maybe not daily or time platforms used will be changed. Just know your train number and look for the departure board for the platform number. Sometimes the departure platform will not be posted until 15 - 30 minutes prior to departure so don't panic if you immediately do not see it.
