Transportation between Edinburgh & Dublin: Dublin & London
My husband and I are planning to travel independently in Edinburgh and London. We are scheduled for a tour in Ireland. Can anyone suggesttransportation options from Edinburgh to Dublin and then from Dublin to London? We are travelling in May. Thanks, Linda

If you want to avoid flying for environmental, sightseeing, or other reasons, it is possible to do both these trips by train and ferry. See http://www.seat61.com/Ireland.htm for details, but for Edinburgh-Dublin you would need to take the Stranraer-Belfast ferry and then go by train to Dublin, while Dublin-London would involve taking the ferry to Holyhead. Both of these journeys would probably take a full day.
Aer Lingus also flies between Edinburgh and Dublin.
You have lots of choices between Dublin and London....my choice would be BMI. Less restrictive than Ryanair and they fly to LHR--easier and cheaper to get into central London than the other airports. Aer Lingus flies into LHR and LGW. Ryanair flies into LGW, LTN and STN.
