But I don't know if a bus journey actually cancels an outerchange, or
if it would still count if it was within the time limit.

Your use of outerchange is something I do not recognise.
How did you get from Hayes & Harlington (Journey Planner does not
recognise Hayes and Harlington) to Shepherd's Bush. Which Shepherd's
Bush? I see routes via Willeden Junction/

a possible related case:
what happens if someone on pre-pay hops on the 73/30/205/etc etc to
perform their outerchange between Euston Square and Euston ?

I believe the possibly complete journey at Euston Square is completed by
touching in on the bus. I had something similar when, failing to touch
out at Finchley Central, I boarded a bus. I was charged for an
unfinished journey.

what happens if someone with a bus pass (who is using pre-pay for an
unaccustomed tube journey) does the same?

I expect the journey consists of 3 legs - one already paid. Walking
between Euston Square and Euston means that the possibly complete
journey at Euston Square is restarted.

The Journey Planner shows Hayes & Harlington Rail Station - Ealing
Broadway Station + Take the Route Bus 607 to Acton Central Rail Station
- Hackney Central Rail Station. It takes about 20 minutes longer than
most routes using zone 1, but will give the 1.10 charge on top of a 2/3
TravelCard.

I am more interested in a journey including a walk between Euston Square
and Euston which takes longer than 2.5 hours. It ought to be viewed as 2
journeys, but, I suspect, would be assessed as an incomplete and an
unstarted journey.
