Shocking story. The way some Stagecoach drivers behave towards elderly and disabled people is terrible. Hopefully the driver will be properly disaplined.

According to the news, the driver has been subject to an internal disciplinary, and rightly so as well. Incidents such as this really drag the Stagecoach name down as people lose trust. The vast majority of drivers do their job well, and would do the correct checks before leaving the bus for the night. I can only imagine the driver was too tired to be bothered, or simply forgot.
As the news report mentioned, Stagecoach have spent hundreds of millions in recent years investing in a fleet specifically designed to help the disabled, in line with Government legislation.
Just an unfortunate incident, which I hope lessons will be learnt from.
