What is more, who cares? These flights arriving at 0500 are international
flights, does he really think that a passenger arriving off an international
flight at 0500 will have disembarked, cleared immigration, collected their
baggae, cleared customs, and is ready to catch a train at 0509?

As for staff, when I worked for QF we all drove (since they provided parking
for us) despite the existence of the Airport Express bus, and I imagine that
staff will continue to do so even after the railway opens.
