How to book cheap train tickets from Exeter Central to Barnstaple

Traveling in off-peak train times

Split tickets to save an average extra 30%

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 Exeter Central to Barnstaple, 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.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

By planning your trip from Exeter Central to Barnstaple ahead of time and booking your tickets early, you can potentially save up to 61% on your travel expenses.
