Minimum purchase of £5.00

Am travelling from Durham to Leicester for a football match on Sunday 2nd of May. It's a £49.70 return (with railcard) but I've been able to get that down to £36 by splitting (I could do £31 but have opted to pay about £5 more than I really need to to travel first class much of the way). I'm doing advanceds for return Durham-Doncaster and Sheffield-Leicester, so I'll also need a Doncaster-Sheffield off-peak day return, which is pretty cheap at £3.30

However, I can't buy this part of my ticket on the East Coast website as they have a five pound minimum charge online. Are there any TOCs who don't have this condition? I could always pick it up on the day (I should have 15 minutes in Donny) but I'd rather save myself the hassle if I can.

Can you not add multiple journeys to your "basket" on the east coast site and then pay for all of your tickets in one transaction?

Yes you can

TPE www.tpexpress.co.uk or Crosscountry www.crosscountrytrains.co.uk don't, just tried XC and let me right through to the payment page with no warnings so can't see an issue.

Thanks all, I'll try TPE. I tried paying in one go but ended up paying for the journeys separately - I presume somewhere I miss-clicked!

Should always be able to pay for them all in one go, unless you have selected save for later and for some reason it hasn't added them to the basket.
