How to book cheap train tickets from Basingstoke to Exeter
Travelling in off-peak train times
Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets, allowing travel outside morning (06:30-09:30) and evening (16:00-19:00) rush hours on weekdays. If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Basingstoke to Exeter can result in significant cost savings.
Using the Railcard for 1/3 off
You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Basingstoke to Exeter for various reasons, such as your age (including the 16-25 Railcard or Senior Railcard) or options geared towards group travel (Family & Friends Railcard and Two Together Railcard). Discover more here.
Split Tickets for greater savings
Another option to consider is splitting your tickets to save more on fares. Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Basingstoke to Exeter, you can split the route into two legs: A to C and C to B.
