Disabled Woman Stranded Overnight At Lime St

My thoughts on this are that she is being discriminated against because she is disabled and has to book assistance in advance something an able bodied passenger doesn`t.
I agree that she should have got to the station earlier and booked the assistance.
It doesn`t portray the Railway in a good light when they promise a taxi home and then say no and her mum then has to pay for her to stay overnight in hotel.
What do other people think ?
A disabled woman was forced to book into a hotel room overnight after she failed to book assistance to travel before turning up at Lime St to get a train home and a promised taxi home to Crewe was then cancelled.
Holly, who uses an electric wheelchair, says the friends missed the last train home after station staff forgot to tell the train's driver a passenger requiring assistance would be boarding the train.
