I travelled from London Euston to Dublin Port on the Avanti West Coast C21745 (train) and transferred to the Stena Line ferry. I found the journey very good as the staff were friendly and the seats very comfortable. The wifi was also very good as I had no interruption in the network during the whole journey. The only thing I didn't quite like were the toilets, because they were dirty and smelled unpleasant. But apart from that, it was a good journey because the train left London on time at 09:02 and arrived in Holyhead at 12:52. The ferry also left Holyhead on time at 20:30 and arrived in Dublin Port at 23:45.

I travelled from London Euston to Dublin Port on the C21745 (train) and the Stena Estrid (ferry). I hadn't reserved any seats, but there were plenty available and the seats were very comfortable. The train was very well equipped, there were plenty of sockets where you could charge your mobile phone, and the train was very well maintained from the seats, the corridors and the toilets.

I travelled from London Euston to Dublin Port on the Avanti West Coast C21745 (train) and the Stena Estrid (ferry). The train journey was very pleasant both from the volume in my carriage and the friendly staff who regularly asked if I needed anything. There was also an on-board bistro with a large selection of drinks and food and the train had plenty of power sockets so that you can charge your mobile phone or laptop at any time. All in all, it was a very solid journey.
