Well, if you're on the 1AM, they usually start boarding further out than 30 minutes - more around 12:20 or 25. Often the flight pushes back early if everyone is aboard. So, you can stay at the PC until midnight, take a leisurely walk to the train out to S and be at the gate with little time to spend in the gate area. Note that there is no restroom inside the PC.
Also, since all of the terminal area is now connected, you can use any security checkpoint to access the secure area. Often it is better to use a different line than the one nearest your gate.
