you can only park a pushchair there if there's no wheelchair on the bus, pushchairs and prams must vacate immediately if a wheelchair user gets on and if they don't the driver has the right to ask you to leave the bus and the police will be called if you don't. It also said that parents and children must vacate the disabled seats, including to allow a carer to sit with the person they are looking after, if someone in need gets on.

FINALLY!
Here's hoping the rest of the country will follow.
When I'm on a bus, I always ready myself to fight an errant moo who might refuse to move their pram for a wheelchair user who wants to get on the bus too. Those disabled spaces only came after years of campaigning for wheelchair access, and there are signs in every space saying that you must move if a wheelchair user needs it.

I recall one trip where both spaces were taken up by a pram, when a disabled person wanted to get on the bus, and the bus driver told the moo taking up the larger space to move to the other one (two prams can easily fit in one space). She was on her phone the whole time she was moving the bloody thing and loudly complaining to whomever was on the other end that she has to move her pram! Yeah, how dare she have to move her precious loaf? How dare she not get to have a space all to herself? Stupid bitch...
