That depends on what station and trains you are taking and how comfortable you are with finding your way around train stations.

Probably yes-but there never ever is a garantee. IN fact 2-min changes (no one here uses this NAFTA Ly-ov, many will not even understand it) are very common on some networks-thats usually same platform-opposite. If a planner presents it like that to you, its reliable enough.

The likely used changes/connections are most often announced-in the local lingo and /or on screens in the trains, so you can prepare. Some planners of railways concerned can also announce it-and even real time delays/last min. changes

(in fact I myself made a change here planned to take 3 mins-on other pltf-as train 1 was delayed by 4 mins I still made it very last min. just before doors closed in train 2)
