Hi

Can anyone help find any cheap ways of getting to Exeter St Davids. I'd prefer not to use XC, but if its cheaper then fine

Single - 21st December
Leaving: As early of possible

Thanks

The cheapest I can find is getting advance tickets from Derby - London St Pancras & London Paddington - Exeter

Leave derby 0909 arrive London 1046
Leave London Paddington 1220 arrive Exeter 1542

Advance prices at present
Derby - london £10
London - Exeter £25

Total £35 + Bus Fare (£2) or Tube Fare (£4)

The 1220 is out of Waterloo for £25.
The paddington train leaves at 1206, arrived Exeter SD 1409 or Pad 1306- exd 1517, both £32.50

Ok, thanks. I really need to leave earlier though. Thanks anyway

Considering that is a peak flow towards London or Birmingham you have no hope in hell of getting a cheap fare.

07:34 Nottingham - Grantham 08:12
08:29 Grantham - London Kings Cross 09:45
Advance single £14.25 with the discount at East Coast.

11:06 London Paddington - Exeter St Davids 13:32 [1]
Super Off-Peak Single £32.50

Total £46.75

If you need to leave earlier than that, it is increasingly expensive. What time do you need to arrive in Exeter?

[1] Or, if you're lucky and the arrival at Kings Cross is early, 10:06 London Paddington - Exeter St Davids 12:09. Off-Peak Single £39.00. Total £53.25
