Although obviously not a domestic service, you can get fixed-priced tickets – the same price whether you buy on the day or two months beforehand – from any location with a train station within the UK to Dublin for a maximum of £26 including all the trains and the ferry. And some of the times aren’t unreasonable: about 5 hours 20 minutes from central Liverpool to Dublin Ferry Port for £23; 5 ½ hours from central Manchester to Dublin F. P. for £23; from central Birmingham to Dublin F. P. in 6 hours for £24; from central London to Dublin F. P. in 7 hours for £26; and so on. What about Penzance to Dublin? 12+ hours and £26.
