There's one direct train between Exeter St Davids - Aberdeen every day Mon-Sat, in each direction.
It takes something like 10½hrs. If you join the train at Plymouth (the start of the journey) it's 11½hrs, and the longest possible train journey you can make in the UK without changing.

You're probably thinking of the direct train from Aberdeen to Penzance (not just Plymouth), which does stop in Exeter. However that one only runs in that direction, not the reverse.

- jayelbe 3y agoOh wow, I completely forgot, yes! From Aberdeen it continues all the way to Penzance (but in the opposite direction it starts from Plymouth). So the longest journey is Aberdeen - Penzance; my mistake. Thank you! Another mistake: it doesn't run on Saturdays.
