Follow the signs for the train station.
Look out for this sign above the station
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.
