How to book cheap train tickets from Exeter to Paignton
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 Paignton. Advance fares are usually released 12 weeks prior to travel and exclude Anytime fares, with savings depending on route availability.
Season tickets for frequent travelers
Regular commuters traveling between Exeter and Paignton - whether weekly, monthly, or annually - can benefit greatly from season tickets. Season tickets allow unlimited travel between both stations within specific time periods, offering substantial savings and eliminating the need to purchase individual tickets for every trip.
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.

Traveling with a group of 3 to 9 people? Most train companies offer group discounts, allowing you to save up to 1/3 on standard fares. This makes journeys from Exeter to Paignton more budget-friendly for families, friends, or colleagues traveling together.
