How?

And anyway, where's the requirement[1] (other than from TfL) for bus
services to be operated with disabled-accessible vehicles? Outside
the profitable PTE areas, many bus operators thrive on second-hand
high-floor vehicles from London.

Isn't it a DDA requirement from 1st October that providers of goods and
services need to make reasonable modifications to their goods/service to
make them accessible?

The DDA final stages mean waiting for a bus is a slow process if you
are disabled....

October 2004
Businesses and organisations may have to remove, alter or find a way
around any physical feature that makes it hard for disabled people to
use services: e.g. tube stations with no lift access.

2015 - 2017
All public transport buses must be accessible to disabled people.

2020
All public transport coaches must be accessible to disabled people.
