Disabled mum slams First Bus after drivers 'refuse' to let her board with wheelchair and pram

A disabled mum has slammed First Bus for 'discrimination' after claiming drivers repeatedly refuse to let her on board her wheelchair and her baby boy's pram.

Heather Sturdy says there have been around 10 occasions where drivers have 'shut the door in her face' when she attempts to get on the number 75 bus on Balmore Road, Ruchill with her young sons, Kayden, five, and Brodhi, 14 weeks.

The 32-year-old has described how drivers insist there is 'no room', when she has seen no evidence of this, and 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.
