After half an hour of frustration, and finding that on line the prices changed by the minute I gave up and phoned the GWR Telesales.

An older sounding man with a calm voice very quickly had booked the tickets I wanted: except I forgot to claim the Nectar points.

When I started trying to buy on line the ticket was £45 I ended up paying £41.50. After I booked two singles - not a return to Exeter and back, for  £83 my very nice man said there was a flexible return for £477! The railways'  pricing regime  is hugely confusing. There must be an industry out there helping tourists to buy reasonably priced rail tickets - for a fee.
