Rail Sail worked on the assumption that there was always space on the ferry, so once IE didn't sell more than a nominal number for each ferry there was no problem.
That no longer applies as the ferries are sold out for the next few days, and there is no room on the train out of Holyhead either. The booking systems of Irish Ferries and Stena Line where unusable yesterday which resulted in 90+ minute queue in Dun Laoghaire for tickets for next week. Stena can still sell Rail and Sail tickets I understand and can be booked online but only if you book several days ahead and are traveling to/from a selected set of destination/origin pairs
