The same train that travel southbound travels Northbound on the same track it is the one away from Old Town San Diego closest to the 5 freeway and I believe by the bus station if you are going away from Old Town San Diego you got to go under the bridge to get to the other side of the tracks
Tom, the northbound tracks are furthest from Old Town, next to the I-5 freeway
They have track switching. No/So bound transits have a, general side, but stuff happens. That's why they have an announcement. Pay attention (if you have some) and you will be fine. If you can't do that simple act you have far worse concerns to occupy yourself with.
Tom ; the northbound Surf liner usually travels northbound on the right side of the tracks.
