Surely Stena Line should of discussed the sailing changes with the Welsh train operator?

Getting revised rosters agreed may have been an issue given the late notice of the changes. The extension of the ATW evening connection from Fishguard to Swansea (instead of Carmarthen) seems to be being extended on a weekly basis in the system - it now operates up until June 9th. On a more positive note, the UK national rail journey planner now has the correct times for the Dublin-Rosslare line. Last edited by berneyarms : 27-05-2017 at 08:18. |

The ferry timetable change has been in the works for at least 5 years

The evening train to Swansea is now an STP (Short term plan schedule) in the UK national rail system, updated weekly and will remain as such for at least 3 months. Last edited by berneyarms : 31-05-2017 at 17:37. |

That 17:55 connection from the ferry in Rosslare is still not showing on Arriva Trains Wales or The Trainline. So in effect, they are not selling any connections on from Rosslare. All journeys are routing through Holyhead, even when it makes absolutely no sense (like an 18 hour, 7 change journey from Whitland to Wexford, which can be done in under 6 hours via Rosslare).

That I imagine requires the commercial departments of ATW, IE and Stena to get together. The GB National Rail website (and by default the individual train operating companies' sites) does at least now have the correct timetable for the Rosslare line loaded. The stations just need to have the Sail/Rail option via Fishguard & Rosslare added. Last edited by berneyarms : 02-06-2017 at 11:16. |

Through ticketing from Rosslare is still not possible.
Do we take this as being pat of Irish Rail's plans to run down passenger volumes on the line south of Gorey? |
