Sail & Rail

just a suggestion that may be of help if using the 02.45 out of Fishguard you could consider getting a cabin. It's not going give a full night's sleep but it'll give a few hours. 2-berth en-suite cabins are €40/£32.

Re: Rosslare-Pembroke Dock - SailRail was tried around the turn of this century (shuttle bus between Pembroke Dock ferry terminal and station) but it was then dropped due to poor/low demand. Megabus run an overnight shipside service between London and Pembroke Dock in connection with the night-time Irish Ferries sailing each way. The plus of the Eurolines and Megabus services is that they run through to London. The downside is that they take longer than the train from Fishguard though rail passengers must change trains in South Wales.

The Rosslare-Pembroke route is handy for anyone travelling to the immediate area and the likes of Tenby.

Good news about a third Irish Ferries vessel on the central corridor. Presumably foot passengers and SailRail will be accepted though I could understand if they're not as there's already several options between Dublin and Holyhead. The press release mentions targeting the freight and tourism markets, though the latter is very broad and you'd expect it implies tourists travelling by all means.
