Gatwick Airport to Exeter

[Owen]

I need to get to Exeter in two weeks. Prices from Gatwick are extortionate at £92 at the cheapest? How can I get this down? Preferably below £50?

 

[Darandio]

What time and what date? Two weeks today I can see advances for £49.50.

 

[Owen]

I don’t want an advance it’s too risky

Are you heading back to Gatwick or anywhere near it within a month, as flexible offpeak return tickets usually cost little more than singles.

 

[Owen]

Yes, but is it under £90

 

[yorkie]

Yes, but is it under £90

You can get the total cost down to £88.61 on flexible fares through Trainsplit.

Gatwick - Salisbury via Barnham £27ish, Salisbury--exeter £35ish whether via Westbury or direct, a few pounds more for returns

- I can think of various options which might help you but it's hard to say if we don't have the information.

I was thinking about this too (given the recent thread on this). £27-ish is day-single/day return only - it's around 33 for a period return Similarly SAL-EXD at around 35 is weekend only day return,isn't it? It's 44/48 for a period return.

If we get a bit more info I'd maybe also look at going via Clapham and splitting at Pinhoe.

 

[Owen]

Pinhoe is near where I have to be? I don't know SW England so I don't know the best routes. I don't want to travel for hours and hours.

I'm not sure how we can answer that question.

As we do not know your travel requirements, we are unable to assist.

 

[Owen]

I've just told you where I need to go Yorkie. You don't need anything else from me.

 

[yorkie]

In that case I think there is nothing further to add to this thread.

 

[Owen]

Ok then.. Anyone else want to be more helpful?

Yorkie, it's crystal clear: We need a flexible ticket at the cheapest price on the fastest train. We will not sacrifice speed, flexibility,or price.
Onve you've sorted that I'd like an easy yet rewarding job with shedloads of cash, massive holidays, and very few hours. Then you might like to come up with a Brexit solution that satisfies everyone. Then it's probably time for a hot chocolate and beddybyes.
