Glasgow First Bus drivers 'refuse' to let disabled mum on board with wheelchair and pram

A disabled mum from Glasgow has hit out at First Bus after claiming their drivers have repeatedly refused to let her on board with her wheelchair and baby's pram.

Heather Sturdy is mum to sons, Kayden, five, and Brodhi, 14 weeks and says she has been refused entry onto buses around 10 times when she attempts to get on the number 72 bus on Balmore Road, Ruchill.

The 32-year-old said drivers have "shut the door in her face" and insist there is no room when she claims there is no evidence of this. She added they refuse to look at a letter which was issued to her by First Bus declaring that if there is space, then she is allowed on with her wheelchair and buggy, the Daily Record reports.
