Parents with children in buggies will have to move to make way for people in wheelchairs on buses – following today's Supreme Court ruling. Top judges have today ruled in favour of wheelchair users in the row over whether they or parents with prams take priority on buses. The highest court in the land ruled, if a refusal to move is unreasonable, the driver must consider taking further steps to "pressurise" the reluctant passenger to leave the space - meaning wheelchair users must come first. Disabled passengers have today claimed what they call a "significant" victory.
The ruling means that bus drivers will have to do more to ensure wheelchair users can get on buses. The Supreme Court case was triggered by a dispute between a disabled man and a mother with a pushchair who refused to move out of the designated area when asked by a bus driver. Wheelchair user Doug Paulley, from Wetherby, West Yorkshire, attempted to board a bus operated by FirstGroup which had a sign saying: "Please give up this space if needed for a wheelchair user." But he was was left at the stop because the woman, whose baby was sleeping in the pushchair, said the buggy would not fold. FirstGroup has a policy of "requesting but not requiring" non-disabled travellers, including those with babies and pushchairs, to vacate the space if it is needed by a wheelchair user.

But the recorder's judgment was overturned by the appeal court, which ruled that such a policy would not strike a fair balance between the needs of wheelchair users and the needs of other passengers who might be vulnerable. The policy would also be liable to give rise to confrontation and delayed journeys. Mr Paulley, in his late 30s, took the case before seven Supreme Court justices for a definitive ruling. They handed down their decision today. In a summary read out in court this morning by Lord Neuberger, the judges noted the Court of Appeal was correct to conclude FirstGroup could not have a policy which would mean non-wheelchair users must leave the bus.

It isn't enough for drivers to simply request non-wheelchair users to vacate the space. The court advocated a case-by-case appoach, stating that when refusal to vacate the space is unreasonable, drivers should take further steps to pressurise non-wheelchair users to move.
In this particular case, this may not have resulted in Paulley being able to catch the 9.40am bus to Leeds.Following the Supreme Court's judgment, managing director of First Bus, Giles Fearnley, said: "We welcome today's decision from the Supreme Court."It has ruled that bus drivers are not required to remove customers from vehicles, which was a key issue for us. This provides welcome clarity for bus operators, our drivers and our customers."This was clearly a difficult case for the Supreme Court with six different judgments, and we look forward to receiving further clarity around the decision when the Court publishes its Order. In response, we will implement any necessary changes."We recognise how important it is that bus services are accessible for all customers and we lead the industry in improving bus travel for customers with all disabilities. We are therefore also pleased that the Supreme Court found that we did not discriminate against Mr Paulley." Last year the Mail reported on an incident where a disabled wheelchair user was refused on board a Stagecoach bus because a child's buggy was already using the designated space.
Andrew Scammel and his carer Gary Puckering were unable to get their bus home to Orchard Park because a family with a buggy ahead of them in the queue had priority. Mr Puckering argued this directly conflicts Stagecoach signage on the bus warning passengers: "Should a wheelchair user require to board, you are required by law to reposition small prams and to fold your buggies and stow them elsewhere in the vehicle." He said the incident had left his vulnerable charge, who has degenerative disease spinocerebellar ataxia, anxious and nervous.
