As per the above,

If you are departing from Truro it seems a bit steep, if from Aberdeen it's a bargain.

£42.70 on National Express.

Try MegaBus (it's a train service) from London Waterloo to Exeter St Davids from £10 each way on those days, with the odd £6 fare. Then get some advance tickets from Exeter St Davids to St Austell from £5.50 each way.

Therefore a return from £27 but more likely £31, just make sure you give yourself plenty of time to make your connections at Exeter, at least a 15-30 min connection time for late trains.

Can be done by train using Advance Singles...
out = £24,
back = £34.
total = £58.

But maybe try Megatrain...
Waterloo to Exeter St Davids can be done for £10.00, and Exeter St Davids to Waterloo can be done for £6.00 on your dates.
Couple that with Advance Singles from Exeter St.D to St Austell at £18.00, and the reverse trip at £6.00.

So total return could be as cheap as £40.00.

Oh dear... late again.

Best buy from a Train Companies' website as there's normally no fees attached.

First Great Western as you will be using there railways they might have a deal on.

ArrivaXcountry might get a discount by using discount code 'offer25'.

East Coast no discount but better search engine.

Redspottedhanky good if you've got any tesco's clubcard vouchers as £1 clubcard voucher = £3 train voucher.

Or just go to the train station with your preferred train times/dates and buy there.

Lollol, you really have to be quick when buying Advance tickets or Megatrain tickets.

Two days have passed since you asked your question and already there are now no £6 megatrain tickets on your dates between Exeter and London.

The cheap tickets are on quotas and once they're sold, that's it.
