Not possible to depart Leamington at 1600 when we arrived at 1600.

1H62 departs LMS at 1620, not 1600, so the arrival time at HWY of 1715 is a valid move. Just needs the departure from LMS amended.

[ValleyLines142]

We take the four minute walk to Stamford Brook station and board the 0955 London Underground District Line service to Dagenham Heathway, arriving there at 1058 on Thursday.

(* there is a 0945 departure but I'm not sure what the situation is with allowing for a minimum connection after a walk, so where we arrived at Westcroft Square at 0938 and took the four minute walk to Stamford Brook tube arriving at 0942, is the 0945 departure permitted? I've never taken that into account personally hence the ten minute later departure just to be safe!)

 

[-Colly405-]

Personally, if a walk is less than 5 minutes, I aim for a next departure time 5 minutes after the first arrival (so an arrival of 0938, followed by a 4 minute walk, would lead me to get the next service at any time from 0943).
Not sure if that is right thought lol...
And for the sake of 10 minutes, I'm going to stick with your move being valid...
