GWR website limited to one journey (single or return) per transaction

I usually buy my rail tickets from my local station but if I am making a longer journey with multiple split tickets and/or advance tickets, I use the GWR website.

However, it seems that following the GWR website update earlier this year, you are now limited to purchasing only one journey (single or return) per transaction. To book multiple journeys, you must complete them as separate purchases as the "add another journey" feature is no longer available.

This is a real nuisance, especially when trying to book a long journey using split tickets!

I don't think I would apply the word "update" because that suggests an improvement ...

What an unfortunate co-incidence that buying longer journeys in sections - a perfectly valid practise - has been made so much harder.

Other (far more user friendly) ticket purchase websites are available.
