Doncaster to Barton-on-Humber - is it (or should it be) valid via Hull?

The clause is:
"13.1.2. by any services (including any change of trains) over the shortest route which can be
used by scheduled passenger services between the stations shown on your Ticket""

The bus is surely a scheduled passenger service as it is advertised in the public timetable. Sadly, said term is not included in the list of definitions in Appendix B.

It is one of the many inconsistencies and ambiguities in the current Conditions. That is not, in my mind, acceptable. The Conditions should not be attempted to be written in a way that is in "normal speak", as doing exactly this is what leads to these issues. It should be plain and clear, even if that means they have to resort to "legalese".
