I assume that an incoming train will arrive on Track 1, detrain everyone and then the driver would exit for a break/washroom stop. While that is happening a train on Track 2 would depart. Since the platforms flank the tracks, it will be a little more involved than passengers just turning around if they happen to have guessed wrong on the departing track. While the decision is easy if there is already a train at the platform, but if there are no trains in the station, hopefully passengers will have a "Next Train: Platform 1" sign.
It hasn't been explicitly described yet, but there will be digital displays on each platform. Presumably they will have a message on them to let you know. I've seen that on other systems. "NEXT TRAIN: OTHER PLATFORM" or less helpfully, each platform will have their own countdown "NEXT TRAIN: 18 MIN" on one, and "NEXT TRAIN: 4 MIN" on the other.
Still, not as simple as if it were an island platform.
