Exmouth instead of Honiton

[piccadilly]

Good Afternoon,

I have an open return ticket to Honiton from Warrington.

It is actually more convenient this time to return to Exmouth.

Is it possible to use this ticket, to or do I need to buy a single ticket from Exeter to Exmouth?

Kind Regards and Thank You for your help.

You can’t travel to Exmouth with this ticket alone. The simplest option will probably be just to buy another ticket from Exeter as you say.

It’s also possible a ticket office might excess this for you (I’m not 100% sure if this falls within the rules of change of destination though, someone else might know?). However it’s a zero fare excess, which they don’t tend to like doing, and in theory would limit you to routes via Bristol, so you couldn’t go via London, which might not suit your needs?

Thank You for your prompt reply.

I think the simplest method is to buy another ticket.

I may have a disabled person travelling with me so I can’t take any risks!

Regards,

@piccadilly. Do you already have a valid return ticket and accompanying itinerary from Warrington C/BQ, travelling back to Honiton (via Exeter St. Davids)? If so, reckon you just need an additional ticket (to Exmouth) from Exeter Central or from St. James Park, Exeter, if the train onward to Exmouth stops there.

If, however, you'll instead be passing through Yeovil Junction / Crewkerne on your way to Honiton, your existing ticket's validity ends at Honiton, so if you're travelling that alternative way, you'll instead likely need an additional ticket from Honiton to Exmouth.

Thanks,

The ticket I have is from WBQ to Honiton via Birmingham so changing at EXSD.

Easier just to buy a single ticket?

Also, I have just seem there may be delays on the route due to industrial action - but will have to take the risk on that one!

£6.50 Anytime Day Single, Exeter St. Davids to Exmouth, should suffice. Unless anyone has a better / more elegant, and still straightforward solution.

Thanks I’ll do as you suggest.
