Why not claim? If you can't run a train on a line that's dedicated to you within half an hour of schedule, you should damn well have to pay compensation to the passengers, especially given the cost of the tickets.

It can be exploited though. I used to book tickets with a 5 minute connection at York, rely on the train being a bit late (as it invariably was) and do the delay repay claim while having a coffee in Costa while waiting for the next train. It extended the journey by 25 minutes, but was worth it to save £120.
