Luggage concern with HHR Train

Assalamu alaykoum everyone,

I am planning to leave Madinah in 1 week with my family to Jeddah Airport to fly home. We are planning to take the last train (10PM), as our flight is at 3AM. It will be a Tuesday night.

My concern is regarding the luggage. We expect to have 1 extra. 3 persons with 3 large, 3 small, 3 handbags AND an extra small or large luggage depending on the need.

I saw on the subreddits some tips: get late to the train or pay a porter to board your luggage. However, we also took the last train to go to Mecca and we did not see any porter to help board the luggage at the departure from Jeddah Airport (was not an issue because we didn’t have the extra luggage at the time). I was thinking to send one luggage with SPL some days in advance to be safe but I am not sure of the logistics of that.

So my question is: What is the best and safest way to ensure a smooth experience and to get all my luggage on time from Madinah to Jeddah Airport?

Thank you in advance, barrakAllahou fikoum

TLDR: I expect to have 1 extra luggage leaving Madinah at night to Jeddah Airport with the train and not sure what to do, I want the safest option.
