York - St Austell

[bennorthyork]

2 adults with no railcard wanting to travel from York - St Austell out on 4 March leaving any time between 12.00 and 18.00 and returning on 6 March leaving any time before 12.00. Can anyone find cheaper fare than £120.50 return please?

Don't think that it can get much cheaper travelling on a friday & sunday.
And there is a bus replacement between Exeter & Taunton on sunday.

£111.05 per person return is the best I could get. The theoretical cheapest price for the journey is £39 return, but that'll probably be standing in the toilet and only valid on a day not ending in Y
