Salzburg to St. Johann in Tirol by train

Hello,

We are planning a skiing trip to St. Johann in Tirol next February and will be flying in to Salzburg. We were thinking of getting the train then to St. Johann. I%26#39;ve done a basic search but I%26#39;m a bit confused really. I have a few questions, if anyone can answer them I%26#39;d be really grateful!

Has anyone here ever gotten the train from Salzburg to St. Johann in Tirol?

Is it a direct journey or will we have to change?

How far is the train station in Salzburg from the airport?

How long does the journey usually take?

Are the train tickets expensive?

What time is the last train at? The flight we are looking at booking only lands in Salzburg at 6.30pm, and by the time we get off the plane, claim our bags and actually get to the train station, it could take us a couple of hours. And thats not accounting for any delays to the flight. We%26#39;d be rightly stuck if we missed the last train to St. Johann.

If anyone has any info on this train journey, I%26#39;d be so very grateful.

Many thanks in advance!
