Yes, trains are generally a reliable and consistent option. They run to a set timetable, avoid road traffic, and provide a predictable journey. This makes them a popular choice for travellers who prefer a structured and low-stress way to reach the airport.

For individuals, the train is often the most cost-effective option. However, for groups of four or more, the total cost of individual train tickets can quickly add up. In some cases, a private door-to-door transfer may work out at a similar cost per person, while offering a more direct and convenient travel experience.
