Bike sharing or even bike rentals of nicer bikes, right there at the train station, would be perfect for people like us. Probably not a solution for the general public though. Shuttles or cabs always seemed adequate to me at airports, but I'm always going to a hotel or office from an airport, a train maybe it would be as likely some other destination. Just musing here.
