With this day ticket, explore all rail routes in Devon, plus the Tamar Valley Line, for just £10 (£5 for child). Valid after 09:00 on weekdays and any time on weekends and Bank Holidays. The Evening Ranger is valid after 18:00 seven days a week, and costs £5 per adult, £2.50 per child.

Buy your season ticket at a staffed station – take along a recent passport-sized photo. Once you have a photocard, weekly tickets can then be bought from the ticket machine.
You can take up to two dogs (on leads) free of charge on the train. Two bikes are allowed on the train (again free) on a first come, first served basis. More may be permitted at the Conductor’s discretion if the train is quiet.
How to buy tickets
Please buy your ticket from the machine at Newcourt station before boarding the train. The machine takes cards and cash (including notes) and gives change.
A few tickets, such as GroupSave and Ranger tickets, are not available from the machine. In these cases, just board the train and buy your ticket from the Conductor.
For longer trips (e.g. Bristol, London), you can save a lot of money by buying your ticket up to 12 weeks in advance. Buy online or at a staffed station. Tickets bought online can be collected from the machine at Newcourt station.
Why not try commuting by train from Newcourt? Regular passengers can make substantial savings by taking advantage of season tickets and carnets.
Remember, if travelling before 9am (Mon-Fri) without a season ticket, you’ll need to pay the peak fare (see below).
