Travelling on a Lancashire Day Ranger (Child fare £11.35) I caught the delayed VT from Lancaster to Wigan North Western (timetabled arrival 1528, actual arrival 1537) with the intention of walking to the DW Stadium then returning into Wigan town centre to catch the 1623 Wigan Wallgate service.
Google Maps gives the following walking times:
WGN to DW : 22 mins
DW to WGW : 25 mins
If the VT train had arrived on time, using those timings plus the 5 minutes I spent at the DW/buffer I would have arrived back at Wallgate at roughly 1620, in which case I would have caught the 1623 comfortably and not had to wait for the 1645; and more importantly would have caught the 1700 bus to Preston, instead of the 1730 I caught.
Obviously that half hour delay would mean I would be entitled to delay repay however as I left railway property and went on a walk would I still be entitled to it and if so at what level?
