The correct thing to do is to out it in as one claim, stating what time you actually got to your destination.
But you can't do that on the TCS system. It just asks you to input your intended departure time for each leg, and then shows a pick list for you to choose the actual service you intended to (or did) travel on. I suppose in the background it knows whether these services were delayed and by how much.
You then enter your ticket details, but there is no means of entering the multiple ticket details you'd need to for a split ticket.
There is no way to add any narrative to the claim. At no point do you enter your arrival time.
Did you complete your journey? If you abandoned it at Peterborough and had split tickets there, then only claim delay repay for the ticket(s) as far as Peterborough. A separate refund request would be sent to the retailer for the unused ticket.
I completed the journey, 62 minutes late at destination.
It sounds complicated; maybe it is complicated or maybe the way it has been described makes it sound complicated. Either way, my advice would be to keep it simple where possible, be clear and concise. Don't stop feed little bits of crucial information, but equally don't provide unnecessary extra information or contractions about the use of the word 'journey' as this will cause delay to the processing of your claim and/or may result in doubt regarding the validity of the claim.
I think I've made it sound complicated by referring to the rail replacement bus between Peterborough and Spalding which was announced as for "Spalding passengers only" and that I did not travel on.
It's dead simple really. Attleborough - Sleaford on a split ticket with the split at Spalding. 0833 Peterborough - Lincoln cancelled.
The complication when claiming delay repay is the TCS solution being incapable of dealing properly with split tickets.
I'd type in the origin of my journey, the destination of my journey, the total sum of all tickets. I would include one photograph clearly showing all tickets
You can't do that because it asks for various reference numbers off the tickets and I bet if you enter the sum of the tickets, computer is going to say no at some point as it will know that "the" ticket reference you entered wasn't of that value
If the form does not make it easy then I would forward my booking confirmation email (if I booked with an accredited split ticket supplier) and if I booked each one separately I woud type out my originally planned itinerary and the list of tickets held myself, in an email to customer services
I'm not sure to whom you'd send that, as a relatively lay passenger. You are just pushed to the TCS system for delay repay.
