You could take a taxi from the station to bring you to the door and avoid the steps.
The first photo on this site shows the steps and another site states they are steep.

When you get off the train, you walk over to the town (.25 - .5 miles?) and the head over to the right to the staircase, as I recall. It is a steep climb, maybe the equivalent of five - eight house heights at least? I think part of it was more of a ramp, and part of it was a series of staircases.
People who come by tour bus park up at the top and walk down a shorter staircase - if you see a photo of white steps with stone balustrades, that’s the view from the parking lot down to the abbey. The ones up from town are more golden, tumbled stones.
If it’s a problem, like someone else said, maybe a cab from the train would be a good idea.
