How to book cheap train tickets from Exeter to Edinburgh
Season tickets for frequent travelers
Regular commuters traveling between Exeter and Edinburgh - 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
We'd strongly suggest avoiding rush hour crowds by traveling on Off-Peak services, often leading to a cheaper and more peaceful journey. Exact timings vary between providers, but in general, skip traveling between 06:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM on weekdays. Off-Peak rates are available all day on weekends and bank holidays.
Using a Railcard for 1/3 off
A wide selection of Railcards is available, many providing 1/3 off most train tickets — from the 16-25 and 26-30 Railcards to Family & Friends, Two Together, Network and Senior options. With the 16-17 Saver, you can even get 50% off. Purchasing and storing your Railcard in the Trip.com app is quick and simple, ensuring instant access to generous discounts whenever you travel.

While it may sound surprising, splitting your route into smaller segments and purchasing separate low-cost tickets can greatly reduce the overall fare, all without changing seats.
