Sai o próximo?
Does the next one leave?
Language note: More natural full question: “A que horas sai o próximo?” or “Quando é que sai o próximo?”
Culture note: At stations, “o próximo” usually means the next departure on that route/service, not necessarily the next train overall.
Context: You shift to the next departure and ask when it leaves.
