We are a group of 4 seniors traveling from Edinburgh to York for several days and then on to Bath by train. Because of our ages, we would like to minimize connections. Would it be best to travel from York to Bristol and then Bath (rather than to London and make a change of trains there)? Also, does the LNER train between Edinburgh and London also do a stop in York? 1st class tickets, so we are guaranteed a seat?

When you go to the National Rail website, you will see your options for the days you will be travelling. LNER has frequent direct trains to York. Seat reservations are included with Advance tickets. Off peak or Anytime tickets can have seat reservations added on the app or website.
As for getting to Bath - selecting the trains with the single change at Bristol Temple Meads makes more sense than changing in London (which I believe also requires changing stations in London)
