Travelling with a group of 3 to 9 people? Most train companies offer group discounts, allowing you to save up to 1/3 on standard fares. This makes journeys from Salisbury to Exeter more budget-friendly for families, friends, or colleagues travelling together.
Season tickets for frequent travellers
If you make the journey between Salisbury and Exeter on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis, a season ticket is well worth considering.
