The train thing at T5C is essentially a trick, and if there are staff watching you you won't necessarily be allowed to do it. If you want to play by the rules, you have to request an escort, and this allegedly takes up to an hour.

Can someone explain the process to me.
(In the nicest way) you've already been told the process is messy. It is messy!

EDIT: I see c-w-s has explained the gory details...
