Leicester-London and London- Exeter

Fares released eight weeks before travel date, Can be as low as £2 each way.

To put that in perspective, a flexible off peak return from Leicester to Exeter via Birmingham - just the one change - is £104.70. By split ticketing (Brum, Cheltenham and Bristol - stay on the same train) that can be brought down to £83.20. Advance (inflexible) singles could bring that down more though maybe not to megatrain levels. (I doubt if you will find a £2 fare for July now though - more like £20 or £25 each each way - plus tube - £4.50 each each way. Or £2.40 by bus)

My fares came from First Great Western but they will be the same on other sites
