Was there an alternative space on the bus for the pram?
If not, I'd have probably have been a bit stubborn about it too.

It's the same space on most buses.

The wheelchair space is for wheelchairs. That's why it's called the wheelchair space.
Had it said "pushchair space for self-entitled cry babies" I might admit you had a point. But it didn't, so you don't.

It's for both.
Or rather, one or the other.

No, it's specifically provided for wheelchair users.
Pushchairs are allowed to use it by convention.

Not on new buses.

Dunno mate, not used a bus since I passed my test.

The buses I generally use have Wheelchair & Pushchair spaces.

Anyway, you could always argue that the baby was disabled on the basis that it was unable to walk or move any real distance under its own power. It's still a chair with wheels.

You'd have thought that a more experienced cripple would've realised that.

All I know is that legislation specifies "space for a wheelchair".
It doesn't mention pushchairs. In my opinion that means that a wheelchair trumps a pushchair.

In any case, common fucking decency requires that you get the fuck up and let the wheelchair guy use the damned space.

My original point was that equality works in both directions

As far as I'm concerned, the wheelchair is legally entitled to use that space and takes precedence
over some bloody woman that can't be fucked to move her fat arse and her ugly fucking baby.

It doesn't though
That's what this ruling means.

Yer, I know.
They should have asked me to do the ruling.
