There are long distance trains arriving from Leon, Alicante, Barcelona, and Madrid-Chamartin, all of which also stop in Oviedo also. Local trains run on the lines from Oviedo, Pte. Fierros and Pola de Lena. The local lines run from around 6:00 to 23:30 (11:30 pm). I guess there are buses too, but I don't have that info. Flights are also available from Madrid, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, Tenerife Sur, Ibiza, London, Paris and Monastir(?). Not all flights are available all days.
RENFE train, bus, taxi, walking. Also, the RENFE, Cercanias Asturias site, which is specifically for trains for getting around Asturias (in Spanish.)

By plane: the airport of Asturias is 40km from Gijón, ALSA-busses go back and forth.
By train: there are train stations of RENFE (public) and FEVE (private company), that belong to different train networks and therefore go to different cities.
By bus: busses of the Asturian ALSA-company go almost all over Spain
