How to book cheap train tickets from Exeter to Edinburgh

Travelling in off-peak train times

Travelling in off-peak train times

Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets, allowing travel outside morning (06:30-09:30) and evening (16:00-19:00) rush hours on weekdays. If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Exeter to Edinburgh can result in significant cost savings.
Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Exeter to Edinburgh for various reasons, such as your age (including the 16-25 Railcard or Senior Railcard) or options geared towards group travel (Family & Friends Railcard and Two Together Railcard). Discover more here.
Split Tickets for greater savings

Split Tickets for greater savings

Another option to consider is splitting your tickets to save more on fares. Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Exeter to Edinburgh, you can split the route into two legs: A to C and C to B. This is often cheaper than purchasing a direct ticket, and you usually won’t need to change trains or seats.
Book in advance to save an average of 61%

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

Advance Tickets are usually released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can be significantly cheaper than tickets purchased closer to departure. By planning your trip from Exeter to Edinburgh ahead of time and securing your tickets early, you can save up to 61% on the cost of your travel.
Group travels to save 1/3

Group travels to save 1/3

If you are travelling in a group of three to nine people, take advantage of group travel discounts, offered by most train companies, for a discount of up to 1/3 on standard fares.
