    Hi,

    I have to travel to London next week but funds are quite low. I was wondering if anyone knew the cheaper options to travel?

    I've heard people say the bus/ ferry are cheap (I think I heard £25!) but the only option I can find is eurobus which is 64 dublin to london

    TIA

    You won't get the bus for that cheap anyway.

    Look up rail and sail prices. I might have a stenna line discount voucher I could throw your way as well.

    €47 each way from Dublin port. Discounts not usually valid on sail-rail fares.

    Sail & Rail usually works out the cheapest when you factor in transport from the London airports to the City.

    Try and get the sailings that arrive on the direct train to Euston, or else you have a hell journey.

    Exactly - the 08:05, 08:20 and 08:45 sailings all connect into direct trains.

    No - only route from Rosslare with SailRail is Stena via Fishguard.

    There are still boat trains to connect with the 2 Stena sailings in Fishguard.

    Despite there being a Pembroke Dock rail station it is about 2kms from the ferry terminal.

    Megabus run a connecting bus to/from the night sailings that can be booked through from Rosslare.

    Eurolines run a through service on the same night sailings.

    Eurolines is quicker 1h-1h40 mainly due to arriving/departing Pembroke quickly while there is a longer wait with Megabus.
