Hi guys
I need to catch a train from Exeter st David to Birmingham international to collect my teen age son
I will be travelling 1 adult 2 children up with the added teenager back.
Does anybody no if there's a way to do it cheaper than the £200 I have just seen ( that's not including teenager ) .
Any advice will be great .

Does he actually need collecting? It's a direct train from Birmingham New St so it's just one change. If he's coming from the airport it's really simple and clearly signposted.

When?
Is £200 single or return, and is it for just one of you or all of you?
Have you checked if a family railcard helps?
Have you tried the ticketysplit website?

Look at the cost with a family railcard. The £30 cost for the railcard might save you more.
