Exeter has 2 main railway stations, St David's and Central, and it is St David's that most people will first arrive at (except for trains from London Waterloo which stop first at Central).
St David's is the gateway to The West Country with regular services to and from London as well as Scotland and the North of England and is a wonderfully atmospheric station providing a terminus for not just the national rail services but also the local services both down (to South Devon) and up (to North Devon as far as Barnstaple). Going West, trains continue through Plymouth and on to Cornwall as far as Penzance.
The station itself is about a 15 minute walk into Exeter city centre (all uphill!) but is only a short train ride to Exeter Central, a similar bus journey from just outside the station to The High Street and also has a (usually) well-attended taxi rank.

Exeter Bus Station at Paris Street, which is operated by Stagecoach, is the city's bus transportation centre with its buses covering much of Devon as well as the National Express services linking the rest of the country. For a bus station this is particularly well organised with a series of bays from which the buses to different parts of the county leave, organised into logical groupings.
Everything is well signed and timetables are posted in each bay with the relevant bus details which makes finding your bus pretty much idiot-proof - well it would have to be for me!!
Contact number below is for Traveline which provides bus and rail service details nationally and is also particularly well organised. Leave a Comment

This little ferry boat is a gorgeous little gimick, especially considering there is a footbridge over the river Exe less 100 meters away, its called Butts Ferry . I imagine there has been a ferry service here for 100s of years. It only takes literally a minute to get accross, its a nice think for children to do. I cant remember the cost, but is was something like 30 pence each way. Bargin!
Go to the historic Quayside & you cant miss it. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

There are two ways to get to Exeter from London.
First Great Western from Paddington is usually the fastest (2-3 hours), but South West Trains from Waterloo is often cheaper, albeit slower (3 - 3.5 hours).
On South West Trains you can also use an annual Travelcard (Goldcard) to get a one-third discount off Saver tickets (£18.03 each way). Leave a Comment

When travelling to Exeter from London you have two options. To leave from London Waterloo Station or Paddington Station.
To go from Waterloo is cheaper (though not by much) it is a longer journey (nearly and hour longer) and the trains aren't as nice.
So if you can, leave from Paddington, and pick yourself up a Paddington Bear toy as well!
