Train tips:

  • It’s sometimes cheaper to buy two separate single tickets, rather than one return ticket – check the train websites for details.
  • If travelling from Exeter, avoid the local ‘stopping’ trains if you can. They’re slower, less comfortable and don’t cost any less than the larger inter-cities.
  • Tickets are often much cheaper during off-peak times – check with train companies for specifics.
