You're breaking your journey if you plan to do something else (e.g. to get lunch)
If you wanted to travel directly from one station to another and it is an officially recognised National Rail walking interchange, then that is not a break of journey
Agreed.
I suppose the argument could bethat lunch was to be obtained from an outlet within Glasgow Central station (use of such an outlet would not, in itself, constitute a break of journey) however if either train had catering, that might be a tricky case to make. It will boil down to what is seen as reasonable. And if someone was to push it, the terms could potentially get re-written.

A bit of devil's advocate... Absent any other delay, if I take too long walking and miss my connection, is the railway obligated to let me take the next train as I've been delayed 'in the network'?
If you give me an example journey and reasoning I will give you my opinion on the matter. The question is far too vague to answer.

That was my initial take on it, but then I thought about how restrictions are worded - it's usually 'no break of journey except for connection purposes' which reads as if it is actually a BOJ, just one that is specially allowed.
I agree it could be interpreted to read that way, but it certainly is not a BOJ.
Another interpretation is that if you are making such a connection you are then permitted to break your journey (e.g. you are permitted to obtain lunch at an outlet not at a station, when walking between stations).
A third interpretation is that the person who wrote that either understand the definition of BOJ. This is perhaps the most likely scenario, based on experience
