Fed up with flying? More volcanic ash on its way? It's time to swap stressful flights or cramped coaches on eyesore motorways for a relaxed train ride through the English countryside and along the beautiful Welsh coast, then by luxurious superferry across the Irish Sea, see the journey in pictures below. £38 (€40), any day, any date, buys you a 'SailRail' train & ferry ticket from London or any rail station in Britain to Dublin (plus a small fee for online booking). It's the traditional way to reach Ireland, an environmentally-friendly alternative to a flight which can reduce your CO2 emission by up to 73%. In fact, you can buy a SailRail ticket between any station in Britain and any station in Ireland, one-way or return in either direction, at these amazingly cheap prices, covering train travel to the port, the ferry to Ireland & onward trains in Ireland, all on one ticket. Just use the online booking form on the right. If you live in Ireland, you can buy SailRail tickets to any rail station in Britain online at www.irishferries.com. Bring a bottle of your favourite wine along (try doing that on Ryanair), sit back with a good book and enjoy the ride...
