They should fire the bus drivers

In Hawaii people were asked to vacate the wheelchair space so my son could ride. And the driver would tie down his chair. We are visiting London in June 2024. I hope the situation has improved. I will be able to help him. At least he won't face it alone.

I do feel sympathy for disabled passengers,but what the general public doesn't realise is that many timetables are worked out by management that don't know what they are doing. If the drivers run late, they are chastised by the very people who created the problem. I had a regular passenger who had mobility issues and took forever to get aboard. I inquired with my manager to find out if there was any other means to transport the lady because i was concerned about her safety, he said no. I then said what should i do if she was hurt trying to get aboard. He told me to call for an ambulance and carry on with the service. To say that i was gobsmacked is an understatement. !!!

this was only during covid it doesn't happen in Soho no more

ALWAYS BLAMING SOMEONE ELSE KHAN

The best way to solve the issues as they lie now is to adopt the Equality Act 2010 as it is written at the relevant sections. This will speed up adaptation of stations much quicker, as these stations will be closed to all passengers. The law states that if a service is available to an able bodied person but not a disabled person, it must be modified so that it is accessible to all. While the service is not available to those in the protected characteristics list, it must also not be available to those who are not in the list. Hence the term Equality.

Difficult to step onto train with my rollator because platforms are too high and often there is a gap into the rails between the train and platform -easily fal Whereas tube train are level next the platform but curve around does have gap easily break your legs. Do something put automatic ramp on to platfors?

Who'd have tought its more difficult to get around in a wheelchair in a packed eating area, groundbreaking news really. Ill stay home next time for fear ill get in wheelchair users way

Can you get portable kerb ramps? Either for high street business owners or wheel chair users to carry with them?

only one young man with manners the other rude in polite things

Do the cafes own the pavements? If not, how are they allowed to use/block them?

Auntie Car Ramin southern make wheelchair access but all you just go round so there’s another road he can go round just another ideological

Just ask them to move it's no problem

It was correct he should NOT have been awarded money. Disabled people have rights and I can understand his frustration, but he had a video on UA-cam where the driver told him he had a bad back and he turned up to Edinburgh station, making arrangements with someone else who didn't pass any info to a station duty manager and talked to him so shockingly I'm glad service was denied. Abled or Disabled, for good passenger service you be nice! On buses, just because the driver drives the bus, doesn't mean anyone will listen and the driver probably will get abuse from these passengers who block the aisle so it's not easy enforcing the wheelchair space.

All this man does is complain and manipulate situations in order to complain and play with people’s jobs. He is over opinionated yet on his channel all comments are blocked. We have to listen to him but he doesn’t want to hear the response

I'm sure part of the problem is every teenager & her brother pushing the blue bell when there's no wheelchair on board. This then habituates the driver to ignoring it, since they constantly get misused. A driver might see a wheelchair user once or twice in a week, & be dismissing that alarm multiple times an hour.

You could literally type in UA-cam "Guy in wheelchair complains about trains" and some of his videos will come up

Good thing 249 has gone to Arriva, which means there is a better service.

My mum had to to us a Wheelchair when she went out drivers used to say ramp not working until I pointed out the ramp worked when we got on

I feel like it may that nonhandicapped passengers push the disabled button becuase it's the closes to them even though they shouldn't. Just the other month, I was on the newer buses, and a lady was just leaning on the button, and it kept going off!

Transport for All - it's 2022 and there is still no change in Bus Drivers' attitude towards disabled, old, pregnant, unwell e.g. suffers with chronic pain, incapacitated or anyone who requires accessible access, in fact, they're worse than before some drivers will pretend to lower the platform then watch you struggle to get on and off the bus. They're just narcissistic and cruel!! They enjoy watching passengers struggle to get on and off a bus. In spite of this narcissistic behaviour I have witnessed sone excellent bus drivers who are a credit to TfL but unfortunately they are only few.

you guys just seem to get really shitty bus drivers in your area, i have never seen this happen in my area

The blue bell could be a shape by the driver's seat to say wheel chair or buddy of next stop

Doug paulley is a fucking idiot. Travels just to complain. Absolute idiot. Sooner hes gone the better. Stay the fuck out of Scotland.

Thank you for your useful advice

I’m terrified of catching the bus and train for the first time with my mobility scooter. I’ve had it since April and still haven’t been brave enough to do it lol

Are those new trains all open inside, from end to end? If so then they're absolutely NOT "fully inclusive", absolutely NOT as it means there will be no absolutely ESSENTIAL QUIET carriage which folk disabled like ME NEED! We DON'T all use wheelchairs! What about those like ME who NEED QUIET segregation for crying out loud?! What absolutely THOUGHTLESS design! And what do they mean by so-called "clever" design? How can it be if there's no quiet segregation? WHY are folk like ME never consulted, or even considered when these totally EXclusive and downright DISCRIMINATORY things are designed. I'm absolutely SICK and TIRED of it, HIDDEN disabilities MATTER! How on EARTH are folk like me supposed to travel in those wretched things, eh?! Why hasn't anyone thought of that? It's blatant IGNORANCE! Disability is NOT all about wheelchairs!

Needless to say, just like with all the other disability "rights" groups there's absolutely NO MENTION whatsoever of anyone disabled like ME anywhere on this video, once again it seems to be all about those with white sticks and wheelchairs, and those who can "fit in" and be part of a "community" which we're all expected to be, well far too many expect far too MUCH! What about those like me who CANNOT just casually and conveniently fit in?! What are disabled folk like ME with multiple severe LIFE RUINING hidden disorders supposed to do? WHO speaks for THEM?! What about severe misophonia and severe HEAT intolerance? They are disabilities too!

Transport for ALL means exactly that, for ALL, i.e. NOT just for the normal crowd and those who use white sticks and wheelchairs. For the umpteen billionth time, disability is NOT all "white sticks and wheelchairs" for crying OUT LOUD! AND fair availability of public transport is NOT all about physical access, it's also about what happens to some severely disabled people once they're onboard, and we don't all live in london, the country doesn't end at watford. What about those seriously disabled like me who CANNOT work OR drive and cannot support a car and therefore NEED public transport but who are all too often EXcluded to the MAXIMUM because of totally THOUGHTLESS designs like all open trains with absolutely NO QUIET segregation which folk like me who suffer APPALLINGLY with far more severe misophonia NEED in quiet compartments, NOT all open from end to end. Why are people like me never even consulted or even considered when these totally discriminatory designs are dreamt up? It's right out of order. HIDDEN disabilities MATTER, especially those which utterly DESTROY entire LIVES!

St Pancras has had a turn up and go facility for many years! 🤣

The man is an utter ignorant prick! Hand waving gesture “get out of the way”

What an ignorant man, obviously a friend of Doug Paulley! Why are they not getting a lady with a pram to try the bus? Discrimination!!

Unreal, I sympathise with the disabled but why should they have priority over children?

All this guy does is complain, check out his UA-cam channel not 1 video has anything positive about it.

All doug does is constantly complain, moan and create situations that play with peoples jobs. Not 1 video on his channel has anything positive about it. His channel makes out every time he travels people are deliberately unhelpful to the disabled. Get a grip doug things must go right occasionally so when they do then share these videos!

Bus drivers some are rude and not helpful , though London Underground is less accessible they are much more helpful

g

Excellent video

Do you people think that your the only ones who press that bell, as soon as the bus stops start moving your chair to the door

Stapleton has an attitude problem! 50+ complaints? Has he got nothing better to do? Having worked in this industry I know managers will very quickly get fed up with him and do nothing. The majority of disabled people just go with the flow and accept what they can and can’t do. You can’t expect to be able to get on every bus first time. There might even be another disable person on it! Is he going to want them to get off so he can get on?

Why is Paulley moving his feet and legs if he’s disabled? I’ve heard a few rumours on this issue that would suggest he can walk a bit. Now I’m not saying I would never offer a disable person some assistance where reasonably possible, but I find his attitude to others (like the mother with a sleeping baby) seriously lacking in understanding and compassion. All his videos have “Comments are disable for this video” so no-one can comment on them. He’s obviously done this because he knows damn well he’ll get a lot of bad and negative comments. With regards to his trip to Hebden Bridge; why did he not simply: 1. Get a bus from Mytholmroyd to Hebden Bridge instead of waiting for a non-existent taxi? 2. Wouldn’t it have been better to meet with his friends at Mytholmroyd and go with them back to Hebden Bridge? They could then help him if needs be. 3. On returning to Leeds why did his so-called friends leave him on Hebden Bridge station in the dark? If he’d been there all night in the cold he’d have probably died from hypothermia! I could go on for hours about disability this and disability that, but at the end of the day Paulley needs to understand it’s just how life is. The world doesn’t revolve around him, and it’s not a question of discrimination.

If this idiot in the wheelchair was a bus driver he would've done the same. The bus driver does not ignore the idiot, but it is because this job is so fucking repetitive that the disabled bell buzzer will not register in the bus drivers mind 70% of the time. The bus driver has to focus on the road and they do not think about your damned bell. Imagine having to repeatedly open the door, close the door and drive off; of course shit like this is bound to happen. Reporting the driver will not fix this you stupid man! I wish all bus drivers can resign so this asshole in the wheelchair can see how far he can go without bus drivers. All this sad man does with his life is get on buses and secretly records the bus driver just so he can report them, just have a look at his UA-cam channel- band3kfsh. What a creep! Why can't he do something good like give a comendation to drivers who let him on and get him to his destination? Noooo he wants to record and see bus drivers punished this is how sad his life is. Asshole!

Thank you for the very helpful information

Why should you be priority over a child?

New Elizabeth line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is an LBC discussion about this subject dated 30th August 2018. Darren Adam presented it and some of the stories, well, if less able individuals (male and female) feel let down, so are the companies. Companies are no better.

I am blocking hypnostream for being ugly towards people with disabilities. No use in trying to lie about it. Any driver who pulls such crap that is pro discriminatory on any of the transit systems here in the U.S. gets terminated.

First come first serve sometimes my bus is full get over it

I don't see the problem. Just ring the bell or say "Next stop, please!". When the bus stops, politely ask the driver to lower the ramp if he hasn't done so already.

I personally don't like the NBFL.
