Hmm, next time try IÉ, it's definitely possible...

I got a Sail and rail last sat but only from Belfast onwards to Glasgow.
They wouldn't allow it to start from Connolly as advertised.

If you (or anyone) has an issue with this in the future, point to the UK National Fares Manual, supplementary section D on Shipping Links.
http://www.atoc.org/retail/_download...RLsectionD.pdf . The relevant fares are on page D27. Stena act as agents for the National Rail system or for IÉ as appropriate so they are just not reading their books correctly.
(Yes I know these are UK fares but the IÉ practice is just to follow them and use the agreed Euro amounts)

Holyhead to Glasgow by train is 7hrs btw, with 3 changes and a longer crossing time.

Yup, but if you're broke and not in a hurry, it's fun
and at best, it's 5h30 and just a change at Crewe, plus 1h45 for a fast ferry.
