to think wheelchairs take priority?

On a train. Two empty and unfolded pushchairs, 2 adults with1 child(that I cansee), and a wheelchair user stuck out in the corridor. Luckily a nice person moved their buggy so I could get a wheelchair in the other space.

Aibu to think the poor person in the corridor deserves the other space and the buggies should be folded since neither contains a child?

You are right.

YANBU, but did the owner of the other buggy know that there was a problem? I have always found people to be very considerate of wheelchair users.

You are totally right, and those pushchairs should be folded as a matter of course. And the staff should make sure the wheelchair user can use the space

Yanbu, same rule on buses, I had two under 18mnths in a double and managed folding up so wc could have the space why can't anyone else!

Thanks I was a bit Hmm but not sure if its me being oversensitive as a carer or or they actually are bu!

I'm very grateful to the person who moved for us and the num with twins and toddler who let us in the disabled loo even though she was there first!

Of course you're right - but it's also possible the other person in the wheelchair didn't mind where they were.
