am reaching/will arrive

[tedmc]

A tells B to pick her up from the train station tomorrow.

A : What time shall I come to pick you up?

B : I will arrive at the train station at 3.00 pm tomorrow.
OR
B : I will be reaching the train station at 3.00 pm tomorrow.

Is there any difference between the two replies?

They might mean the same thing. It's best just to say when you will get there (arrive).

The first sentence has B picking A up; the second sentence has A picking B up.

 

[tedmc]

The first sentence has B picking A up; the second sentence has A picking B up.

How so? Could you please explain?

That is what the sentences say. Have you confused the meaning of the word "tells".
