The train station is outside the airport building
and not sign posted from the Arrivals Hall. You should take the
lift in the arrivals hall up the Departures Hall and then walk to
the outside, towards the upper level parking area. Keeping in line
with the terminal building, with the parking area to your left,
walk to the end of the parking and turn right, going over the footbridge,
which spans the road below. Follow the signs for the train station.

out for this sign above the station

It is important to know that you must have a ticket
before you board the train, or you will be liable for a fine of
around 10 times the cost of the fare. There is an automated ticket
machine at the airport station, but you will need Euro coins (sometimes
notes are rejected!). Occasionally the machine will only accept
the exact fare. So be prepared!
The walk from the airport building to the station
is a good five to ten minutes - normally no problem, but in the
melting August mid afternoon sun or a winter torrential rain storm,
you may think twice about the benefits of saving on a taxi fare.
It is also worth mentioning that when you reach the station, there
is a small flight of concrete stairs up to the train platform. There
is no lift or escalator. So, if you have a disability or are travelling
with awkward, heavy luggage, you may need help.
