Do Chiltern pay for this delay repay claim?

Delay repay, who pays?

Trip from A to C with a change of train and TOC at B. A to B train delayed. This would have caused the B to C connection to be missed and thus generated about an hours delay. However B to C train also late so connection made. Upshot is arrived at destination late. Which TOC is responsible for...

I think my case is similar, but more extreme. So I'm hoping that you sages will put me right.

Edit: Sorry, anyone who bothered to read this. Chiltern, as the operator of the initial delay, are paying.

In principle, Chiltern pays? Which seems, to a layman, a bit rough on them? Will GWR will be collecting massive delay attribution from Network Rail? Can Chiltern?

Delay attribution has nothing to do with Delay Repay, so irrelevant in this context.

I'm not as confident as previous posters the answer is that clear cut, especially so in your case. I am inclined to believe this one is GWR's responsibility.
