That's slightly optimistic in my experience as someone who walks steadily but not briskly. Depends on the length of the immigration line (took me 15 minutes relatively early on a Saturday in May, line was not as long as some other times) and how far your gate is in T4 (could be a 15 minute walk). Train is usually quick, but not instantaneous.

Perhaps not being an EU passport holder caused me to be slower.
