    Bit of a long shot! anyone driving over to Cheltenham on Monday 12th from Ireland? (anywhere really) basically am booked with Ryanair over Aer Lingus back, cant find passport (and probably cant get one before i go over either). I can fly on Aer Lingus on my drivers licence, but not with Ryanair!

    So anyone with a spare seat id happily pay my way over on the monday! can meet etc whereever really! TIA

    I’m pretty certain you can get an emergency fast tracked replacement passport by going to pp office

    Where are you based?

    There'a a rail and sail option that allows walk on passengers to board the ferry and get a train to wherever you want to go in the UK.

    €50 for a single journey.

    I know someone who recently renewed their passport online (May be different for a replacement). But they had the passport back in 4-5 working days, even though the delivery date online was much longer than this. May be too late now but you never know. They submitted the online application on a Thursday and received it the Wednesday morning I believe.

    sound, thanks, no joy, sail and rail is the most likely runner at this stage....

    Have you looked at getting a passport card? From memory it's just an app and the card comes a few days later. I do think you need your passport number but I had a picture so that did the job.

    Why don't you buy a rail sail ticket but just for the ferry

    So buy ticket at connolly or dublin port

    Walk through dublin port onto ferry

    Exit via car deck in car with person driving

    Enjoy
