DISCRIMINATION * UK - Calls for change to rural bus services
Middlesbrough,UK -GazetteLive/Evening Gazette, by John Sutton -Nov 11 2008: -- Mums and disabled people have called for changes in rural bus services, claiming they are being left stranded in their community... New mother Vicki Upton, 30, was looking forward to spending her maternity leave relaxing with friends and family after having baby Jules... But Vicki, an assistant manager at a medical practice, is stuck in Skelton because the buses serving her local area are often incompatible with prams and pushchairs. And many people in wheelchairs say they cannot be guaranteed suitable access to buses... Martin Shier, area manager for Arriva North East, said “Unfortunately, at the moment we are unable to guarantee low floor vehicles on all of our services, including some of those in East Cleveland. I can only apologise for any inconvenience caused on this occasion”...Labels: discrimination
