What time do you think I should aim to depart NYP? Once at NYP, how do I get to the train and which one should I take? Do these trains connect in Hoboken/Secaucus/Newark Penn Station or are there trains direct to the raillink terminal? Any idea on costs?
Advice here is generally sound. Trains are scheduled for 22 minutes but figure 25 plus 10 minutes for air train. You can buy tickets at fare machines at NYP. Allow about 10 minutes for this as there's sometimes a line. I would probably take the 1:03 arriving at 1:27 but I would not be checking bags and would have done OLCI. If you have to check bags, you probably should take the 12:37 to be safe, and especially so if an international flight,
Here's the NJ Transit Schedule:
