How to book cheap train tickets from Exeter to Waterloo

Split Tickets discount
It might seem unusual, but buying several cheaper tickets for different sections of your journey can result in substantial savings - and you won't need to move seats at all.

If you are travelling in a group of 3 to 9 people, you can take advantage of group discounts (offered by most train companies) for up to 1/3 off standard fares. This can make travelling from Exeter to Waterloo more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.
