I see that Stena have finally relented and now allow you to use the 2.30am Holyhead to Dublin Adventurer as a foot passenger.

I'm not seeing a problem (that said, I'm not using Windows). Are you certain that was the problem site and not another recently visited site, such tactics aren't unknown.

The bus stop outside the train station in Swansea was out of action because of road works, but even so, there was no indication of where a bus to the ferry could be had. On the plus side, the 223 bus from Ringaskiddy into Cork was pretty much at the end of the gangway at the other end. It's actually not a bad trip if you exclude the getting from Swansea train station to Swansea ferry port.. About 70 quid for the one way from London to Cork. Leave London at 5:45pm. 3 hours on the train from Paddington. Onto the ferry, a few drinks in the bar and off to sleep in a cabin. You then wake up in Cork at 8am the next morning. While the travel seems long, you sleep through most of it. |

Guide to SailRail from an Irish perspective
I've been doing the boat+train option to London for a while now. For various reasons I think it's a far superior option to going cattle class on Ryanair. The service is also more popular than you'd think.
Given the volcanic ash debacle I thought it might be useful to put up some info about SailRail from an Irish perspective (I know the Seat61 page is good but there are a few Ireland-specific things that he doesn't cover, and I don't agree with his recommended sailings), in case other people find it useful. I'm on my way to London at the moment and I've done a quick gude to getting to London from Ireland by train and ferry, comments welcomed and appreciated. If RUI would like to use the content on their own site (again, might be useful to other people), please feel free -- attribution not necessary but would be appreciated. |

Nice guide.
Is there any sail / rail option via Liverpool? I need to go over in the next month and I am mulling over boat or plane. The idea of night ferry with cabin seems to make sense as I don't need to waste a night in a hotel en route. I am travelling from the Limerick area. |

Norfolk line are not part of Rail Sail currently
The over night dinner/cabin/breakfast deal is indeed very tempting

Can rail and sail tickets be booked from Europe to Ireland, either direct or via the Uk?
Any links would be appreciated. |

Rail Sail applies only to UK-Ireland via either of the 3 crossing points with either Irish Ferries or Stena Line
Norfolk Line and others are not part of the Rail/Sail arrangement

With this service you can buy tickets online on the uk stenaline website for sail&rail from any dutch station to london liverpoool street via the harrich-hook of holland ferry crossing It is a seven and a half hour crossing. You have to pay more if you are taking the night sailings but bear in mind those night fares include a cabin on the sailing. Still though you would have to buy a sail and rail ticket for london to dublin then at a london station! Last edited by ThomasJ : 22-05-2010 at 14:45. |

There'd be nothing to stop you buying a rail and sail from Harwich to Dublin for the same price as a London to Dublin ticket (£30.50). So you just need to get to Harwich. The same would be true once you're at any UK port with a station.
