How to book cheap train tickets from Barnstaple to Exeter

Book in advance

Advance tickets, usually released up to 12 weeks before travel, can save you up to 61% on journeys from Barnstaple to Exeter when booked at least 1 week in advance. Savings exclude Anytime fares, and are subject to route availability.

Season tickets for frequent travellers

If you make the journey between Barnstaple and Exeter on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis, a season ticket is well worth considering. It gives you unlimited travel between the two stations at set times for 1 fixed cost, helping you save money while avoiding the hassle of buying separate tickets each time.

Travel during Off-Peak train times

To enjoy a calmer and often cheaper journey, we recommend choosing Off-Peak services and steering clear of the busy rush-hour periods. While timings differ slightly by operator, it's usually best to avoid travelling between 06:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM on weekdays. On weekends and bank holidays, Off-Peak fares apply all day.
