Weird. I caught that "new" train last week just to try it out.

Big let down compared to that Heathrow Express!! No TV's no phones, no non stop, no check-in at Paddington!

Just a regular suburban train that these days just loops via Airport en-route to city. Normal carriages.

The Fare from where I live {northern part of Sydney - airport is in south) is only about $9, and that carries me thru the city and over the Bridge, so that cost is astounding intra terminal, being almost the same.

BIG lack of patronage. Airport stations empty on both my trips basically. Media here saying the cost can and will reduce.

Sorry they stung you.

There are free terminal transer buses as far as I know?
