Two ferry companies have announced plans that will make it easier for eco-conscious travellers to access Europe from Ireland with new 'sailrail' fares.
Sailrail has been regaining popularity in recent years because of concerns about the carbon emissions of flying.But travellers were only able to book a single ticket between the UK and Ireland until now. Dublin MEP, Mr Cuffe, said it "represents real progress in making available discounted fares between Ireland and France for those who choose low-carbon travel".
"We also want Irish and UK train and bus companies to work with ferry companies to better align their timetables. This will encourage more travellers to choose the low-carbon option."He recently highlighted the challenges around intercontinental travel by blogging the journey from Brussels to Cork with travel blogger Jon Worth.
