I make it £65.20 from London International LNE to Cardiff on brfares. This seems to be valid on any train if you can buy it, and would give you CIV protection if you got stuck in London. The Man in Seat 61 explains it better than I could.Is there not a London Eurostar to South Wales option?
Would an advance ticket be valid on a later service if the Eurostar arrival is delayed?
https://news.gtp.gr/2018/11/20/european-parliament-improves-rail-passenger-rights-rules/ said:To avoid passengers being left stranded after a missed connection, MEPs clarified that in the case that a passenger has been issued several tickets for a multi-leg journey, the rights to information, assistance and compensation are the same as under a through-ticket.
It's worth pointing out that the EU has recently decided:
Of course, Brexit may have some impact on this, but this appears to give the same protection on split international tickets that we currently have on split domestic tickets.

I have made a new thread on this subject.I would check with the Man in Seat 61. Unless something has changed, it only applies If the tickets are booked in one transaction, and the likes of Thello are not covered.
Whatever ticket you have, make sure the train manager on Eurostar stamps the Eurostar ticket if your train is going to be delayed. If he/she doesn’t walk down the train, ask at the bar and they will get them. We had a through ticket to Doncaster once tied to a particular train at Kings X. When the Eurostar was delayed, permission to travel on the next train was given without question on production of the stamped ticket. Another time we had to spend a night in London because of a delay (Eurostar refunded hotel), and once again there was no problem at all getting permission to travel next day.
Which for LONDON INTERNATIONAL (CIV) to LONDON PADDINGTON appears to be 35 + 40 + 15 = 90 minutesThat confirms my theoretical understanding. The only qualification is that you must allow sufficient (as defined by online journey planners) cross London connection time.
You can't get CIV tickets for domestic British journeys anywhere except at a ticket office (well, or on a knowledgeable and helpful guard's ticket machine!). It used to be possible to get them online at a limited number of retailers; however, this was stopped as some passengers were using CIV tickets in a way they were not intended to be used (bearing in mind CIV tickets generally have fewer restrictions than equivalently priced non-CIV tickets).
Staff are now instructed only to issue CIV tickets to passengers who produce a valid Eurostar ticket.
