I am a now retired railway employee and a senior citizen so Do sympathise with any Senior Citizens trying to get a seat, especially with some of the rude/ignorant younger people who have Not been taught to give up their seat for somebody elderly or infirm.
Sadly, according to the Conditions of Travel, your fare only gives you a journey from A to B, by any means the railway uses, including buses, aircraft, or any other form of transport, with No guarantee of a seat regardless of age, or any disability.
Hope this is of help.
