The number people using wheelchairs on public transport is VERY low. Let alone kids using wheelchairs. Afaik, almost EVERY council pays for special transport to get pupils in wheelchairs and SEN to school. Normally minibuses or dial a ride vehicles get used for this sort of thing for free.

Yes but they are very expensive to fund. St Helens Council decided days before the new academic year that Post 16 SEN transport was to continue after being decided it was too costly to provide. The alternative being public transport or friends/family to transport SEN/wheelchair students.
I say this as if anything like that was to happen in Warrington it wouldn’t go down well especially as the council supports Disability Awareness Day (DAD). So does WOB.
