  • Split at London;
    Stevenage - London KX - London Paddington - Plymouth

    Or

    Stevenage - London KX - London Waterloo - Exeter St Davids - Plymouth

    You can even buy the London Waterloo - Exeter St Davids Tickets off Megabus.com for some really cheap weekday tickets

    Don't forget to add the cost of the underground fare

    Splitting in London from places like Stevenage and most London suburban stations is generally a Bad Idea, with few exceptions (like getting a cheap megatrain ticket for the main journey)

    Reason is there are no cheap fares for the Stevenage - London sector.

    Your best bet OP is a through advance purchase ticket from Stevenage to Plymouth. This will cost very little more than one from Paddington and will include your underground fare.

    Example - £31.10 advance single Stevenage - Plymouth. From Paddington on the same train - £24.50.

    If you are too late for the cheap tickets then a walkon superoff peak return is £79 from Stevenage, £72 from Paddington. Cheaper than splitting, which would cost you £28 for Stevenage to Paddington and return - £100 total on split tickets, £79 on through ones.
