The train journey to the airport is ideal. A little downside on the tickets via the app... on the outward journey, we had printed them out but on the return journey we went through the app and it didn't work because as soon as we approached the phone with the QR code, it triggered Apple Pay!!!! We had to ask an agent to open it for us...

Ticket was easily accessible through the app. However, it was hard to scan the QR code at the arriving station until I fully covered the QR code scanner with my phone. Seems like it was detecting the apply pay before the QR code.

    Tickets were ready to go instead of managing selections after long flights and it was a two minute wait for the train on the platform. One less headache to manage. Perfect!
