How to book cheap train tickets from Barnstaple to Exeter

Group travel deals
Traveling 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 Barnstaple to Exeter more budget-friendly for families, friends, or colleagues traveling together.

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.

Split Tickets discount
It may sound odd, but splitting your journey into smaller segments by purchasing separate, cheaper tickets can often lead to significant savings, all while you remain in the same seat for the entire trip. The best part? Trip.com handles these splits for you, meaning you don't have to do any painstaking planning.
