On Thursday 21st December I travelled from Southampton Central to Crewe on the 14:11 GWR to Newport arriving 16:36 (scheduled 16:30) and then the TfW 16:35 (departed 16:45) and arrived in Crewe 30 minutes late.
I had three advanced tickets Southampton to Warminster, Warminster to Newport and Newport to Crewe booked through trainsplit with one pdf that I attached.

Initially TfW forced me to put in one ticket number as they wouldn't accept multiple that I could see on their portal.

They rejected it saying it was operated by GWR and would send the details over, so I appealed with more details and they have rejected it again with the same reasoning.

GWR said they couldn't find a journey matching my details.

Am I correct in that because I made the original connection despite GWRs delay to Newport, TfW should pay out?

(As an aside I had problems last summer with TfW travelling to Barmouth with a 15 minute delay after having reduced connection time in reading again due to GWR 4 min delay and the same thing happened with a claim being bounced between the two multiple times so much that I gave up on the £9 due from a single ticket)

It was TfW who delayed you into your final destination. So they were the ones who need to pay out here. It's based on what actually happened. You made the connection but TfW had you arrive late.
