Llega a Madrid
From online-spanish-course.com
El último tren llega a Madrid a las 10. The last train to Madrid arrives at 10 o'clock. This seems a bit strange to me. Is it the train that "goes" to Madrid that arrives here "from" somewhere else at 10 o'clock, or is it the train from here that arrives in Madrid at 10? If it's the second when does it leave here? El último tren desde aqui llega a Madrid a las 10. I think I get it but not sure. Thank you.

Let's see.
El tren llega de Madrid a las 10pm - The train arrives from Madrid at 10pm El tren sale a Madrid a las 10pm - The train departs (/that goes to) for/to Madrid at 10pm. Would that help?

@Bob: I think that the last sentence, "El último tren desde aquí llega a Madrid a las 10" explains very well the meaning of the first.
If there were a wider context, we might be able to explain more, but just like that, the sentence is only saying that the train arrives in Madrid at 10 pm... one would have to count the hours to know at what time it leaves from here.

Gracias. After I posted I thought more about it and came to the same as both of the above replies.
