Can anyone tell me what is the correct cross London interchange time from Paddington to Euston so I can get a Delay Repay claim right?

The journey, if it makes any difference, was Bodmin Parkway to Bletchley at 1331 on 18/7.

I used the Elizabeth Line to Tottenham Court Road then the Northern Line if that too has an effect (i.e. does it count as National Rail in this context?).

GWR's DR website doesn't seem to contain the correct published timetable for yesterday (theirs is correct, LNR's isn't - it still shows fast Euston-Leightons which were never intended to run) and I don't want to make a fraudulent claim by accident.

Thanks.

15 minutes at Paddington, 13 minutes transfer (assuming it was between 07:00 and 19:00), 15 minutes at Euston. A grand total of 43 minutes.

Going via TCR technically increases that as you have 15 minutes at Paddington, 5 minutes EL to TCR, 5 minutes at TCR, 10 minutes fixed link to Euston and then 15 minutes at Euston.

So it is, rather ridiculously, "slower" than the all-LU option.

How bizarre. It's quicker than the H&C in my experience.

I suppose they aren't to know :)

To be picky, it's not possible to do anything fraudulently by accident :D

OK: "I don't want to accidentally create a claim that may be considered fraudulent, and need to defend that it was not done intentionally" :)

Though most people would probably have put in for the hour's refund their site was offering as the default rather than the half hour (actually about 56 minutes, annoyingly) that I did put in. Too honest for my own good sometimes.

They might well pay for an hour anyway. I've had that happen before when I've put in a specific routeing and a 30 minute claim and they've just assumed the default. I donated the excess to charity if I recall but heard nothing more about it.
