Fair enough. Fair enough. To be fair it was possible to input Dublin Ferryport on the Avanti site! Anyway you don't get compensation like that with Ryanair (granted it is only payable if the train is late, not the ferry).

I appealed the claim and they accepted it, to the tune of £21.50 for 30-59 minutes delay (ticket cost was €50, £43 charged on my card). Maybe appealing it meant someone actually looked at it? Or the argument I made above that it was a multi modal ticket with a valid ticket worked? Who knows...

It is worth noting that in the Avanti Passenger's Charter: For multi-modal tickets, compensation will be provided following receipt of a valid claim for a delay to the rail element of the journey. It does not say which kind of ticket that only applies to. The only references to an accepted...

It does not say that specifically. It says it is subject to "the provisions of the Convention concerning International Carriage by Rail (COTIF). and also "subject to the regulations of the Standard International tariff for the Transport of Passengers and luggage (TCV)", as well as having CIV on it.

Only my third post about this Sailrail trip! I made a delay repay claim to Avanti, departing from Dublin Ferryport at 0805 using Irish Ferries to arrive into Ulverston at 1645 on 30 April, but arrived at 1743 as I had to take an alternate route due to Avanti cancellations, meaning I was delayed...

Looking at the furthest date ahead I can book it is the same situation. However the prospect of possible cancellations might be a valid reason!

I have booked a SailRail from Ulvedrston to Dublin starting on April 24 (I psoted about the return leg a couple of weeks ago), but I booked the Advance to save a few pounds but I am reserved on a journey starting at 0709 with a 54 minute connection at Manchester Oxford Road, arriving ar 1232 to...

How do you get the Irish rate, is that only by calling up their Irish number? International calling fees might reduce the saving a little bit. :D

OK thanks for clearing this up. Turns out I did need to put in Dublin Port - Stena to get their times to show up. So my options are either the more expensive option with Stena on Sunday 29 April, and stay overnight in the GB, or stay over in Dublin and take a slightly cheaper sail rail option...

Thanks for this. This looks to be a good option, especially as the €50 fare (£43) is notably less than the £54 standby fare. Can't wait to see what the ticket looks like! However on the T&Cs, the first line states: Tickets are valid for 1 month only from the outward travel date. These tickets...

Yes start from Ulverston, and returning there. So would expect to collect from a ticket machine. Hopefully should be fine, especially when joruney planners show a late ferry at 2055 with a train leaving very early the next morning at 0433.

I was thinking there is an argument to buy at a ticket office and not have one's journey history preserved for all to see, it is to avoid a retrospective fine like this. But then a ticket office would ask to see a railcard in the first place...

How do they know about the journey made on December 31 if the letter is regarding a ticket made on April 6? Is that LNER going through the users journey history on their LNER account to look for more past misdemeanors in addition to what was made on the day?

OK thanks, updated. I would be looking to buy the ticket to collect in Great Britain as part of a return, I am going to Dublin a few days before. Does that change anything in terms of my Break of Journey rights?

I am looking to travel from Dublin to Ulverston on Sunday, April 28. However while the thetrainline gives me a itinerary for a 1350 high-speed ferry sailing to arrive into Ulverston at 2301, that sailing does not start until May. The slow ferry at 1430 (as listed on the Irish ferries website)...
