Finding cheap train tickets from Exeter to Cardiff doesn't have to be a challenging task. With the right knowledge and by using available discounts and travel options, saving money with Trip.com can become effortless. Here are a few valuable tips to help you save money on your train travel.

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting your tickets involves buying separate tickets for different parts of your journey instead of one ticket for the entire trip. This method can often be cheaper and is perfectly legal. For instance, if you're traveling from A to B, you might find that purchasing a ticket from A to C, then C to B costs less than a direct ticket.

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

Advance Tickets are typically released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can offer significant savings compared to purchasing tickets closer to the departure date.
