My wife and I used to do this route, plus Holyhead - Dun Laoghaire, Dover - Calais, Folkestone Harbour - Boulogne and Dieppe - Newhaven quite regularly and a lot has changed, and by the absence of passengers, I can see why. Going from London, the obvious choice was the 22.00 Paddington to Fishguard Harbour HST / IC 125, the Down Fishguard Boat Train. This used to connect with the night tub, that used to arrive in Rosslare @ 06.45 in time for the 07.15 train to Waterford and the 07.30 train to Dublin Connolly. Indeed, I invariably wanted both locos, so I took the first train to Rosslare Strand and lugged suitcases over the footbridge, to wait for the second train ! There were two railway stations at Rosslare, and these were replaced by a third. As you leave Rosslare in your video at 3:12 you can see a curving breakwater with an elevated walkway in front. This was the Rosslare Harbour Pier station that closed 1988/89. The next station was Rosslare Harbour Mainland station, located east of a level crossing. Both were replaced by Rosslare Europort station. During my first visit, me and a mate were catching a train from Rosslare Harbour Pier to Limerick, and we walked along the track, as we could find no pedestrian access from Rosslare Harbour Mainland. The train driver rightly wanted to know WTF we were doing trespassing, so we told him we were going to Limerick. He told us the train would stop at Rosslare Harbour Mainland so there was no need to walk. I said that I knew but we wanted to ride from the Pier ! One night I was catching the Night Riviera from Paddington to Plymouth and Penzance, when a station announcement said that due to heavy seas, the tub to Rosslare was cancelled, so the boat train was also cancelled. Then they said for passengers to make alternative arrangements. Presumably that meant walk to Wales and swim to Ireland !! There was a 22.00 from Euston to Holyhead that connected with the tub to Dun Laoghaire, but I somehow doubt whether tickets would be valid and whether you could catch the tube to Euston Square in time.

Back in 2010 we were over for the Epsom Derby and missed our flight to Waterford there was five of us and Ryanair wanted €1500 to fly us back to Dublin and my car was at Waterford Airport so we got the evening train from Paddington to FIshguard Harbour, had to change at Swansea for a local service to Fishguard. We got the Stena Europe over to Rosslare, I thought it was a really good ship at that time, and the food was excellent on board. Years ago back in 70s 80s, there was an InterCity service to Fishguard direct from Paddington one in the morning and one in the evening and they used to be packed. Nowadays there are very few foot passengers as everyone tends to fly. Interestingly Geoff Marshall who did Allthestations channel, did every station in UK and Ireland, and noted that Fishguard Station is actually owned by Stena Line not a Railway Company. Very good vid again Johnny look forward to more.

It would be quicker for the footpassengers to get off the boat, if they used the gangway at Fishguard Houbour. There is a door for a gangway to be attached to the ship. Also it would be good if the train arrived at Fishguard Houbour station at least an hour before the ship departs, this would give the train a bit of time in case of a delay to the train, and it would not be a mad rush for the for passengers trying to get on the ship. Before check in closes for the ship. Also if the ship is too delayed leaving Fishguard, then it meant mean that passengers may miss the last train to Dublin.

@@JohnnyHooverTravels the only thing about Dublin Port (North Wall) is that there are no LUAS lines (nor even DART Underground) from the Irish Ferries/Stena Terminals and no transfers to the Dublin Docklands Station for the M3 Parkway trains and the LUAS from Broombridge - there is a freight line near the port but it’s not used for passenger trains, which is weird given the port’s expansion to take cruise ships - I just don’t understand why passenger only ferries can’t sail further up the Liffey at high tide, up to the Custom House, about which I’ve written to all the relevant bodies involved including Transport for Ireland and Irish Rail - aside from HS2 in the U.K. and the high speed rail tunnel from Holyhead to Dublin, I suspect they are waiting on the Irish government to ban shorthaul flights between Ireland and the U.K. (in compliance with EU “climate change” rules) to totally overhaul the current SailRail product offering, as the demand would then massively increase - with ever larger ships placed on the Holyhead - Dublin route alone in the past few years, even with increased frequency, it still can’t cope with the ever increasing demand
