Bought one of the xiaomi portable electric pumps recently, pretty impressive for the price and happily pumps MTB or road tyres to required pressure in a couple of minutes. Bit bigger than jersey pocket size but easily fits in a rucksack. https://aligo.uk/products/xiaomi-air-pump-portable-electric-pump-car-bik...

I have a cheap one from Amazon for emergency use. It's a bit slow and a bit loud, but otherwise fine. Mine will only do 100 psi, but I've seen other ones which will do more.

Fumpa/Fumpa Mini springs to mind - generally seems to get good reviews but never used it myself. 

I daresay another option would be to borrow someone else's track pump - normally there seem to be more pumps than bikes!

Unless you can't pump - just take a track pump.  Cheaper and less to go wrong.  You're only doing two tyres ?

I often go to events by train. Bringing a track pump is a faff. Was hoping for something to put in the backpack

Buy a bigger backpack? If you put the pump in first, with the baseplate snug at the bottom of your backpack. Another faff I know, but you could remove the handle for transportation.

 I've a Lezyne 'mini track pump' which has a fold out wire 'foot' and a small ergonomic handle. Works great, but a bit of an effort pumping-wise. Which I'm presuming is the issue for you.
