I believe you'll find that any train route is applicable.
The prices will vary, but as you specify from say, London, to say, Dublin, there'll just be a calculation done of train + ferry + train = total.
Inded, Arrivetrainwales shows this - allowing you to enter in any two stations in either country.
As does directferries, which also explains transfers ...

Unless you have a really tight schedule, and you know exactly what you want to see and make sure that all the tickets are worth more that the London Pass, then I would say it is not worth it. Buy an Oyster with a Pay-as-you go credit, which you can then return when you fly back and get the remaining money back.
Take a look at this question as well, it is ...

Using a "Schönes Wochenende" or a "Quer-durchs-Land" ticket for such long trips is hardly practical. It makes sense if you are an adept of slow travel. It makes also sense if you are several persons and you want to make a real bargain. In the most extreme case, if you are 5 persons you could then travel all the way for 8.40 EUR per person!
The trip from ...

As far as I know: No.
There are two combined tickets on sale:
Trans Montserrat: 26,60. This includes transportation from anywhere in
Zone 1 to Montserrat using the Metro, FGC train and the rack railway,
outward and back.
Tot Montserrat: 42,65. Transportation as per Trans
Montserrat, but with unlimited travel on the local funiculars in
Montserrat, access ...

Another interesting option not widely known (though probably not applicable to your situation) is purchasing a regular international ticket which is valid for up to one month including arbitrary stops. If you plan accordingly, you could visit multiple cities in Germany with a single ticket.
The complete information on this can be found here in German. The ...

Generally speaking German IC and ICE are somewhat comparable to Dutch IC in that they do not stop at every station along the way. Their comfort level is higher (often with a bar/restaurant and always the possibility to reserve a seat) which make them feel more luxurious than Dutch trains but they are not really “exclusive”. Like TGV in France, ICE are in ...

Note that the Schönes-Wochenende-Ticket is valid for up to 5 people, but on only one day (until 3 AM on the following day), not the entire weekend. For a single person it may not even be the cheapest option - even on the ICE there are "Sparpreis" offers, limited contingents of cheap tickets you can only get if you book early.
Whether it's a practical choice ...

Before continuing, you should probably read up on the different kinds of tickets offered on the UK rail network. This looks to be a fairly comprehensive list. The things you'll especially want to take note of are the general kinds of times they apply to, and the rules around Break Of Journey (which affect if you can stop and continue, eg to go to your ...

In your case the best option is to buy a return ticket to Lund (270 kr).
It's valid for 24 hours and covers the public transport in Lund as well (trains and buses).
You can buy it with a credit card or with a Jojo card. The Jojo card gives you 20% discount of the price of a ticket. The validity of the ticket is exactly the same whether you buy it with a ...

The train trip alone costs 135 SEK one-way with Öresundståg from Kastrup to Lund C. That makes 270 in both directions, plus whatever you'll pay for bus fare (for local traffic, that's probably going to be around 100-200 SEK total, depending on where you are going). I'd definitely buy the card, it does save a lot of hassle, although admittedly not very handy ...

Swiss Pass could be a very good option. When I went to Switzerland for 4 days, I paid in pounds (£153 if my memory serves me correct), and traveled the whole Swiss network for 4 days. They have some limitations, but the cost is worth it.

You can take your bike on Dutch trains. Folding bikes that don't take more space than a normal piece of luggage travel for free, but they must be fully folded during the trip. However, for normal sized bikes you need to buy a bicycle day ticket ("dagkaart fiets") which costs 6,- and can be bought from the ticket vending machines. You will of course also need ...

For tourists there exist passes and reduction cards. See www.swisstravelsystem.com
The best offer, in my opinion, is the "Swiss Half Fare Card", which gives half price travel on the whole network (including also 50% of on mountain railways), for 120,- CHF, for a whole month.

The credit card format ticket was either a Halbtax Abo, a Generalabonement or a Gleis 7. The Halbtax Abo is basically a subscription that is valid for 1, 2 or 3 years and that will reduce all train tickets by 50%. The subscription itself costs around 150 CHF per year. The Generalabonement is is a ticket for one year that allows you to use any train, and ...

Official punctuality statistics can be found via the website of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB CFF FFS):
http://www.sbb.ch/en/corporation/the-company/facts-and-figures/punctuality-and-safety.html
The interpreration is left to you.
Punctuality statistics are often meaningless. Rail companies can too easily fine tune them. Moreover they are often ...

Do you have an actual printed ticket, printed on SNCF card stokc? In that case you could get a refund if it's a normal price ticket. Just go to the ticket window at any station. However, if it's an electronics ticket than you can't get a refund, as there is no way for SNCF to reverse the sale.
