Default SailRail tickets

Has anyone experiences they would like to relate vis a vis these useful tickets.
They are not the easiest to buy. Available from a small number of stations. Booking them through a travel agent is unrealistic as most agents nowadays charge an agency fee. Understandable but when the fee could be around half the ticket cost it doesn't make sense. The alternative is to ring the Dublin number to book but that forces one to use a credit card and not everyone has one or wishes to use it.The ferry companies (Stena and Irish Ferries) each have their own leaflet advertising the fares, zones and sample timings.
The traditional sea-rail package still has a lot to offer so why can't it be publicised and the booking made more accessible. Available from all staffed stations and in the future from TVMs.

For those not au fait with SailRail the tickets are "all in" i.e. one can buy a ticket from say Clonmel to Cardiff and same includes your ferry passage as well as trains on both sides of the Irish Sea.
