Urgent need to get to Dublin today

[ItsAllFun]

Missed flight. Next cheapest is 380. Can anyone find a way to get me to Dublin by 8pm today? Plane, train, automobile?

Where is London Southend? Is it an airport?

Where is London Southend? Is it an airport?

Yes, in Southend.

It’s in Southend so need to get train from London

There's an 8pm ferry from Holyhead to Dublin tonight
You can get train from Euston to Holyhead 14:10 or 15:10...would get there in time for ferry

It's an airport in Essex

If you have missed a flight, presumably you are at an airport now - is there a travel agent there than can help, they can book ferries as well surely?

This is €220 - any good?

If you have to be there by 8pm you can do it but its going to cost you.

Basically this. I think you're best bet is to nab the Southend flight and then get the train over there. Direct from Liverpool Street in about an hour.

*YOUR (damn you autocorrect)

Anathema
Stena lines wasn't full

Any flight to Belfast from the London airport you are at? You didn't say which. Can you drive on arrival if you get to Belfast?

If it's absolutely urgent, pay the 380.

Going all over the country to save a couple of hundred will ultimately cost you more.

No ferry will get you there by 8 pm - and the weather is awful so boats can be delayed.

£220 from Opodo for Southampton to Dublin flight at 18:45 arriving 20:05

Train from London to Southampton is, what, 1.5hrs?

Should be easy.

If you’re at Heathrow, there’s a flight to Cork at 13.50...

Flying to Belfast is a good idea, but you'd need to be on the next flight to get the 6 pm train (arrives Connolly 8.15 - may be too late?)

£356 ^^

Am I the only one desperate to know what's happening at 8pm?

Chaz but ferries simply won't get her there in time? Trains to port don't seem to work out for timings either - leaving either now or too late according to google maps.

But there are direct Virgin trains from Euston ( at 14:10 and 15:10) to Holyhead port....where ferry is at 8pm!
And ferry at 8 has spaces

£302 one way ^

I really wouldn't leave the airport you're in until you've figured this out. I think you're going to have to pay whatever it costs, go later/tomorrow or not go. And do check that your return leg is still valid.

Yes but it leaves Holyhead at 8pm, so I'm guessing it doesn't get to Dublin by 8pm!

She has to be there at 8pm.

Maryz is right. If it's that important, pay the 380 and make sure you get there.

really But she needs to arrive by 8?
