My mother in law (aged 85) had to get off the bus in York as told there was no space even though assistance was organised and seat booked. She had to get a taxi from York to Leeds and then missed the bus connection

Not informative in the slightest of where the stops where, as we nearly missed our bus due to the lack of information sent on the tickets
