Great Western Coffee Shop

This may have already been mentioned, but it is worth noting that at the moment if you are travelling on FGW to Exeter it is cheaper to get some tickets to Plymouth instead but still get off and on at Exeter.

FGW are currently offering a 25% discount on routes into the West Country that are affected by the line closure at Dawlish and this has thrown up this anomaly.

For instance this Saturday a Super Off Peak return via Taunton going out on the 09:57 is ^80.50. However if you buy a ticket on the same train but to Plymouth it is ^68 and the ticket conditions mean you are perfectly entitled to break your journey and not continue it at Exeter!

The same works for Groupsave 4s with the price to Exeter being ^161 whilst the price to Plymouth is ^25 cheaper at ^136!

Or even better just to Newton Abbot not Plymouth will save a few more quid as well, as Newton Abbot is discountable as well

You have not mentioned your origin but assuming it is London Paddington.

London Paddington to Newton Abbot Super Off Peak return is ^64.30

A Super Off Peak Return London Paddington to Dawlish or Teignmouth is ^59.50

yes - the origin is London Paddington and I completely overlooked the intermediate stations between Exeter and Plymouth. Never mind!
