Practical tips
British fares change with the day and the hour. Booking your coach e-ticket ahead of time usually secures a lower price than buying on the day, and it also protects you from sold-out departures.
Buying at the last minute is the classic way to overpay in Britain. Compare the options in the table on this page and book online before you head to the departure point.
Stops and stations can differ between towns, and a wrong stop can cost you your seat. Read the pickup details on your e-ticket and confirm them the evening before you travel.
Devon is popular in summer and on bank holiday weekends, so roads and coaches get busy. Choose an earlier departure and keep a buffer if you have a connection in Exeter.
Save your instant e-ticket on your phone and, if possible, offline too. Mobile signal can be patchy, and having it ready makes boarding quick and stress-free.

The table on this page shows the current duration and price range, so you can check it at a glance.
The coach is a simple, comfortable way to travel for an independent traveller.

Coaches are also a friendly option for students and budget travellers who want a predictable, no-fuss ride.
The main worry in Britain is paying more than necessary because fares shift with the day, the hour and how early you book. For this route, book your e-ticket online ahead of time, especially on bank holidays and summer weekends when seats in Devon fill up. Check the departure point on your ticket before you leave, keep a little time in hand if you are connecting onward to a train or another coach in Exeter, and you will arrive relaxed and on budget.
