Exeter St Davids [EXD] to Sheffield [SHF] on 02/10/13

[SirBroccoli]

Dear All,

Wonder if people can do any better. I need to get from Exeter St Davids to Sheffield on the 2nd October , preferably after 12pm, on any route. Here my two best so far:

EXD-Bristol Parkway [BPW] @ 13:24 = £5.30 (14:39)
BPW-Birmingham New Street [BHM] @ 14:40 = £9.55 (15:56)
BHM-Derby [DBY] @ 16:03 = £8.25 (16:41)
DBY-SHF @ 17:18 = £5.30 (17:52)
£28.40
----
EXD-Bristol Temple Meads [BRI] @ 12:23 = £6.60 (13:24)
BRI-DBY @ 13:30 = £12.55 (15:39)
DBY-SHF @ 15:44 = £7.05 (16:17)
£26.20

Look forward to seeing some ideas.

Kind regards,
Alex

Those are very reasonable prices. I would book now before they sell out and go up - I doubt you can do much than a couple of pounds cheaper.

Looks quite good to me. Try with splits at Cheltenham as well. Don't know for sure but it does work on some tickets on this route.

It does, but doing Bristol Pwy to Birmingham at £9.55 or onto Derby for £12.55 is likely to be unbeatable in this case I think. If it was pricier, I'd say investigate Cheltenham splits, but I can't see you getting an cheaper than that.

If you were wondering, the option you've chosen departing Exeter at 13:24 is a HST, if that bothered you.

Side note: Are those prices with railcards? I haven't checked them myself, but doing this journey semi-regularly, I think £6.25 EXD - BRI is the least I've paid with a railcard, so as has been said, book it up!

A reminder about the forum rules on CRS codes that one should explain them on first use and make sure you use the correct ones please.

Yes they are with a railcard for the prices the OP has mentioned.
