A disabled man has won a case at the Supreme Court regarding who has priority on a bus - wheelchair users or mothers with pushchairs.
Doug Paulley, from Wetherby, brought the case after an incident in Leeds when a mother with a buggy refused to move out of the allocated wheelchair space on a bus, meaning that he could not get on.
The mother would not move the pushchair as she did not want to wake her sleeping baby and claimed her buggy would not fold down.
The Supreme Court have now ruled that bus drivers must now do more than simply request able-bodied people (including mothers with prams) move from the space - a decision that disability rights campaigners are hailing as a "win", and an "important milestone".
The judgment declared that if someone refuses to vacate the allocated wheelchair space, drivers may stop the bus "with a view to pressurising or shaming recalcitrant non-wheelchair users to move" if they think a refusal to move is unreasonable.
Mr Paulley said: "I'm absolutely delighted. It represents a significant cultural change. It's been a long fight of five years by a lot of people. I'm incredibly grateful that so many people put so much time, effort and passion into it. I know it was done for the cause.
"We have achieved something here that will make a difference - not just for wheelchair users, but for other disabled people."
Richard Lane, head of communications at Scope, a disability charity, said: "This is a victory for common sense, and disabled customers will now want to see action from travel companies.
"Wheelchair spaces on buses exist because of a sustained campaign by disabled people. But today many wheelchair users still face difficulties accessing the spaces on buses, often causing a great deal of distress.
"Most people don't realise just how difficult it is for disabled people to get around, to get to the shops, or to visit friends. These spaces are often a lifeline into work and the local community.
"This ruling sends a clear message to transport providers right across the country that they have a responsibility to make travel easier and more comfortable for all of their customers."
However not everyone agrees. One person commenting online, wrote: "So mums with prams are now Second Class Citizens, is this what this ruling means?"
