I would LOVE to know who made that call and why. It makes no sense for the railway (unless they want to exit the business) and while the ferry companies might make a few more bob selling sail-only this volcano won't last forever and when it does it will go back to tumbleweed through the passenger lounge much of the time and they might be glad of the sailrailers then.
The reason could be purely technical - a fear of overselling because the sailrailer tickets don't show up in the ferry computers maybe, but the appearance is terrible. Instead stories are surfacing of cars being shuttled back and forth to the UK because the ferry companies are accepting car but not foot passenger bookings.
