Fares

Some current (1st Jan 2012) fares from Saltash station are listed below. As it is an unmanned station you are entitled to by your ticket, including weekly season tickets, from the Guard (or train manager as they call them now) on the train at no extra cost.

Advance tickets and longer period season tickets have to be purchased online or at a ticket office.

All of the various online ticket services access the same underlying database of fares and availability - the FGW website has the advantage at the moment of not charging a premium for use of a credit card.

If you use an online service you can either have the tickets sent by post or collect them from a machine at Plymouth or Liskeard (or other) stations.

The online systems do not seem to recognise the Devon and Cornwall railcard at the moment - some people have simply selected a different railcard type and successfully pointed out the the guard that the discount is the same and the website is at fault - but strictly speaking this would not be valid.

Sample fares (off peak tickets generally get a one third discount with a railcard)

Saltash - Plymouth - Adult fares (Child fares are half the adult fare)

  • Anytime Day Return £2.70
  • Off Peak Day Return £2.60
  • Weekly Season Ticket £8.40
  • Monthly Season Ticket £32.30
  • Annual Season Ticket £336.00

Walk-on fares. NB, especially for longer journeys advance tickets will be MUCH cheaper
