A disabled passenger is tonight hailing what he claims is an important victory in his legal battle over wheelchair access on buses. The Supreme Court stopped short of requiring bus companies to enforce parrotsy for wheelchair users in designated spaces, but campaigner Doug Paulie said today's partial victory was still a significant cultural change. Rebecca Barry was in court. A typical morning for a disabled person trying to get on a bus. She can't because the wheelchair space is taken up by a buggy. The bus. The road. The bus. You're going to put everybody in the bus. Eventually the buggy is folded away, the tearful woman can get on with her journey. All this happened just over the road from the Supreme Court. Just after, it had made a landmark ruling on the rights of wheelchair users. When something similar happened to Doug Paulie, he took the bus company to court. And after a five-year legal battle this morning, the highest court in the land ruled that bus companies must do more to help wheelchair users. This is a major day for the rights of disabled people catching the buses a fundamental thing that most people expect to be able to do. The ruling means it's not enough for the driver to simply request that someone makes space for a wheelchair user. Instead they must consider taking further steps to pressurise someone to move. How would you fear if the bus driver said no, you have to take your baby out, fold the buggy out and make space for the wheelchair. It's maybe I don't want to wake him up and make him upset and make him cry. The disabled person has got priority. Even if your baby is fast asleep? I think so. What do we want? I have to go. But it's still not a legal requirement for a passenger to move for a wheelchair user. The driver has to require somebody to move away. That is really tough, particularly because the driver has no legal redress behind him. So he can do nothing if that passenger still refuses to move. Campaigners say it's a victory for the UK's 1.2 million wheelchair users and say they'll be pressing the government to update the law in light of today's rule move. Rebecca Barry, ITV News.
