How to book cheap train tickets from Salisbury to Exeter

Travelling in off-peak train times

We recommend buying train tickets from Salisbury to Exeter during off-peak hours. These times are usually before 06:30, between 09:30 and 16:00, and after 19:00 on weekdays, as well as all day on weekends and bank holidays. Choosing Off-Peak train tickets means benefiting from cheaper fares and less crowded trains, making your journey more enjoyable.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

Split Tickets for greater savings

Splitting tickets is a perfectly legal practice that involves purchasing separate, cheaper tickets for different segments of your journey on the same train instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. For example, if you are travelling from Salisbury to Exeter, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than a direct ticket.
