We’ve rejected your claim as it doesn’t meet the criteria stated in our current policy.
Would be helpful if they stated in what way it doesn't meet the criteria. I've appealed, asking them to clarify.
I did worry about supplying the ticket PDF with Uber at the bottom, but I couldn't spot anything in the policy (actually the FAQs) about it only applying to tickets bought from GWR. Or do they assume that's obvious?

Thanks Mark - so it's the delay in getting to the final destination that counts? Makes sense of course; I'll give it a go.
Yes, it is based entirely on the scheduled arrival time against the actual arrival time

| Delay repay question Posted by matth1j at 17:18, 17th June 2025 | |
Today my wife had an Advance Single ticket from Swansea to Melksham, with a change at Swindon - £38.50. The Swansea-Swindon train was delayed by about 20 mins, so she missed the 5 min connection.
As the 2nd leg was a TransWilts to Melksham, the next train would have been nearly 2 hours later (assuming it wasn't cancelled
). So she caught the next mainline train to Chippenham and I drove over to pick her up from there.So what is she entitled to claim for - the ~20 min delay in arriving at Swindon, or what would have been a 2 hour delay had she waited for the next Melksham train?
EDIT: I'd put ~15 min in the last line, corrected to ~20
