No need. You can add multiple ticket purchases to the same purchase basket.
At least you can on Webtis sites like East Coast.

The Jubilee platforms at London Bridge are a bit 'journey to the

Canary Wharf (2007) put me off the Jubilee for life, but maybe things
are better now.

I guess if everything is running well, your contention might be
correct.


.... only the two may be correlated, as in if the Tube is in disarray
that may be the cause of more people using the alternatives rather
than an unfortunate case of two catastrophes striking simultaneously.

You might still get a booking reference for each.

East Coast gives you one booking reference, East Midlands gives you
multiple.

(Or to be pedantic multiple "Collection reference numbers", the "booking
reference" for EMT is a completely different number. I'm fairly sure the
ToD machine uses yet a third name for it - I'll check later today).

The dedicated ticket collection machine asked for my "Reference Number",
which is a reasonable abbreviation for 'Collection Reference Number' but
the ticket machines ask for "Booking Reference", which completely wrong,
given their earlier email:

Thank you for buying your train ticket(s) with EastMidlandsTrains -
your first stop for train tickets.

Your booking reference is 1403452999.

{And collection reference number the more familiar Alpha-numerics}

I cant see the beginning of this thread for some reason but what's wrong
with carrying on to Charing Cross (or changing at London Bridge into a
Charing Cross train) and then using the Bakerloo Â*(or the Circle from
Embankment) to reach Paddington?

I am highly impressed by the way that this option is mentioned twice
and gets coldly ignored.

Perhaps the *Brownies* are too crumbled beyond any discussion value?
