I know I've sat on buses before where drivers have tried to get mothers with buggies o move, and they've point blank refused. Catch 22 for the driver as if (s)he doesn't shift them (s)he's in trouble, but if he stops for too long to try and get them to move then (s)he's also in trouble.

First are now lodging an appeal against the ruling. This initial ruling goes against what was the test case, the one brought against Arriva in Darlington which ruled that the 'first come first serve' outline and the 'request to move but cannot enforce making people move' is within the DDA law.
