The coach takes an average of 5 hours and 40 minutes to cover the 168 miles from Stoke-on-Trent to Exeter. However, the fastest coach only takes 5 hours and 35 minutes.

Located on the River Exe in the southwest of England, Exeter is one of England's most historically-varied towns. It's easy to forget what year it is while walking down the cobbled streets surrounded by Roman ruins, medieval architecture, and Georgian facades interspersed with modern glass buildings and contemporary bars.
One of the greatest examples of this town's historical architecture is Exeter Cathedral. The 12th-century building took around 300 years to complete, but every moment was worth it for the exterior's extremely detailed stonework. The Royal Albert Memorial Museum is another unmissable building, housing a wide range of attractions from antiquities to zoology.
Take a walk along Exeter's historic quayside for some of the most spectacular scenery in the city, as well as some of Exeter's best bars and restaurants. If you're looking for something to entertain the children, Crealy Great Adventure Park is the place to be. The park contains over 60 rides and an Animal Barn showcasing farm and exotic animals.
Exeter can be easily reached from London via the Great Western Railway, with trains leaving roughly every hour from the city. Trains arrive at Exeter St. David's station, only a short walk away from the city center. In addition, National Express and Megabus provide coach services to the town from various locations across the country.
Most coaches depart from the main station in Stoke-on-Trent.
STOKE-ON-TRENT (Hanley)
The coach stop on Honiton Road is part of the Honiton Road Park & Ride, east of Exeter. Ample free parking is available at the Park & Ride, but there are no other facilities apart from the bus shelters. Local buses and National Express coaches pick up passengers at this location, but be sure to check which side of Honiton Road your coach will stop at. Coaches exiting the motorway and heading into Exeter's city centre will stop on the south side of Honiton Road, next to the Park & Ride. Outbound coaches leaving Exeter stop on the opposite side of the street. Outbound National Express coaches go to destinations such as Taunton, Bristol, and Plymouth. However, if you're travelling into Exeter, it's very easy to transfer to a local bus at Honiton Road that will take you into the city centre.
