In essence, starting from January 2015 all buses and coaches used for any kind of public transport or hire and reward must meet certain access requirements such as those for ramps, wheelchair access and dedicated wheelchair space. If they don’t they will be deemed illegal to operate.
The first group of vehicles affected, those up to 7.5 tonnes GVW, will have to be compliant or out of service by the 31st of December 2014.
A year later the same will apply to single-deck buses over 7.5 tonnes GVW and by the 1st of January 2017 it will include double-deckers.

Where can non-DDA vehicles continue to be used?

School contracts and City sightseeing tours?

When (if ever) will they be totally outlawed in Britain - and where will they be expected to go then?

Malta?
