The
train station is outside the airport building
and not sign posted from the Arrivals Hall. You
should take the lift in the arrivals hall up the
Departures Hall and then walk to the outside,
towards the upper level parking area. Keeping in
line with the terminal building, with the parking
area to your left, walk to the end of the parking
and turn right, going over the footbridge, which
spans the road below. Follow the signs for the train
station.
Look out for this sign above the station
(Pictured right)
It is important to know that you must have a ticket before you board the train, or you will be liable for a fine of around 10 times the cost of the fare. There is an automated ticket machine at the airport station, but you will need Euro coins (sometimes notes are rejected!). Occasionally the machine will only accept the exact fare. So be prepared!
The walk from the airport building to the station is a good five to ten minutes - normally no problem, but in the melting August mid afternoon sun or a winter torrential rain storm, you may think twice about the benefits of saving on a taxi fare. It is also worth mentioning that when you reach the station, there is a small flight of concrete stairs up to the train platform. There is no lift or escalator. So, if you have a disability or are travelling with awkward, heavy luggage, you may need help.
