Andén is usually just the train platform, although a dictionary says it can also mean sidewalk or pavement (in parts of Central America, and in the EEUU).

I don't think la parada is used for trains per se, although it can be used for a subway (train) stop. It can be a bus stop, or a taxi stand.

I just looked in the SpanishDict Dictionary. It's all there. Did you look there first and then have questions? That's always better.

Good luck.

That's a very good point, Jeremias. We need to remember that many (most?) if the questions we get have already been asked, and /or may be answered by the dictionary. It is usually worth it to check first. - Gekkosan, Jan 2, 2012
