I've recently discovered that it's possible to tack local connections
on front of Advance fares. AIUI, if the train to the advance bit of
the journey is delayed, and I miss the connection, then my ticket
ought to be honoured on a later service.

I mentioned in passing in another thread[1] that I've got a Advance
1st ticket from U12* London to Pollokshields West. The reservation
(obviously) only applies to the Euston - Glasgow Central portion of
the trip.

I'm curious to know what would happen if I was delayed on my way to
Euston. If, say, I boarded at Queen's Park, and took a London
Overground service - then I'd be travelling on a TOC service, and
covered by the NRCoC.
But what if I got the Underground, in plenty of time, but still got
held up? Do the conditions still apply? How about if the ticket
specifically started at Queen's Park[2]?

I will, of course, be setting off nice and early, but the best laid
plans...

[2] I'm not actually travelling from there. But I did once buy a saver
ticket from Queen's Park (London) to Queen's Park (Glasgow)
