How to book cheap train tickets from Exeter to Bournemouth

Traveling in off-peak train times

Traveling in off-peak train times

Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets, allowing travel outside morning (6:30 AM–9:30 AM) and evening (4:00 PM–7:00 PM) rush hours on weekdays. If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Exeter to Bournemouth can result in significant cost savings.

Split Tickets for greater savings

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 Exeter to Bournemouth, you can split the route into two legs: A to C and C to B.
