We usually arrive in T1 and from gate 40's, it's:
Gate to passport control 7min
Passport control 5min (cut to front of line due to small kids)
Passport to carrousel 1-3min
Bags 10min
Customs 0.5-2min
Customs to ATM 2min
ATM 1min
ATM to train station 5min
Buy train tickets 2min
Down to platform 2min
TOTAL 35~40min
If I were on my own with no checked bags and no immigration wait, no ATM stop, I suppose I could do gate to train platform in 20min.
Walking briskly. No checked bags. There was not a single pax in either immigration or the baggage/customs hall. Immigration to customs surprised me too, but the lap timer on the iPhone stopwatch doesn't lie and Customs is basically right at the bottom of the stairs. Also I was heading to the curb not the train station.
gnaget - Non-resident! You'll have a tough time at 3pm.... and no running.
