Book in advance
Booking Advance tickets at least 1 week before departure can reduce your fare by up to 61% on routes from Exeter to Waterloo. Advance fares are usually released 12 weeks prior to travel and exclude Anytime fares, with savings depending on route availability.
Travel during Off-Peak train times
For a quieter, better-value trip, try to travel during Off-Peak hours rather than the busiest weekday periods. Although exact times can vary between train companies, the general rule is to avoid the 6:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM windows. At weekends and on bank holidays, Off-Peak pricing typically applies throughout the entire day.
Season tickets for frequent travelers
If you make the journey between Exeter and Waterloo on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis, a season ticket is well worth considering. It gives you unlimited travel between the two stations at set times for 1 fixed cost, helping you save money while avoiding the hassle of buying separate tickets each time.
