How to book cheap train tickets from Exeter to Barnstaple

Split Tickets discount
While it may sound surprising, splitting your route into smaller segments and purchasing separate low-cost tickets can greatly reduce the overall fare, all without changing seats. The best part is that Trip.com does all the splitting and organising for you, removing any need for time-consuming research on your end.

Season tickets for frequent travellers
If you make the journey between Exeter and Barnstaple 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.

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

Travel during Off-Peak train times
For a quieter, better-value trip, try to travel during Off-Peak hours rather than the busiest weekday periods. Although exact times can vary between train companies, the general rule is to avoid the 6:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM windows. At weekends and on bank holidays, Off-Peak pricing typically applies throughout the entire day.
