Rail and Sail tickets

[masonma71]

I travel about once a fortnight to visit my girlfriend from Crewe to Dublin via Holyhead. I buy a rail/sail ticket which costs 70 quid. Does anyone know if i can get this ticket any cheaper if i buy in advance and if so how do I do it?if i can get this ticket any cheaper if i buy in advance and if so how do I do it?

You can usually buy rail tickets in advance which work out much cheaper - you need to ask at the station where you buy the ticket. I believe there are only so many at the much-reduced price, so the earlier you can book it, the better. I don't know about the sailing side of it though, the prices you are paying for the combined ticket lok about right. http://www.seat61.com/Ireland.htm#Fares

http://www.stenaline..../ferry/rail-and-sail/ shows slightly cheaper fares than you are getting

But AFAICS no advantage price wise in booking in advance. The tickets are actually very little more than the ferry alone so a real bargain
