They have spent a heck of a lot of money for not very much gain from what I can see at the moment. It is 2 mins faster than taking the limo bus (if you ignore the time taken to get to and from the station platform) and a bit cheaper. When phase 2 opens in 2010 it will be a lot more useful and convienent, but even then the provision of the express train service looks like a massive extravagence that has zero chance of ever making a commericial return. Still I guess it's not all about the money :) And a mighty fine piece of engineering it is too.
