Dog leash Goths 'hounded off bus'

A Goth who leads his girlfriend around with a dog lead and collar was 
stopped from getting on a bus amid fears for passenger safety, a bus 
firm confirmed.
Dani Graves, 25, and his fiancee Tasha Maltby, 19, of Dewsbury, West 
Yorks, claim they have been discriminated against by bus firm Arriva 
Yorkshire.

The black-clad couple said they had been told to leave one bus and 
prevented from boarding another.

The bus firm said safety came first, but it was investigating the 
complaint.

Bus operator Arriva claimed other passengers could be put at risk if the 
bus braked sharply.

Operations director for Arriva Yorkshire, Paul Adcock, said: "Arriva 
takes any allegation of discrimination very seriously and have 
interviewed the driver regarding Mr Graves' claims.

"Our primary concern is passenger safety and while the couple are very 
welcome to travel on our buses, we are asking that Miss Maltby remove 
her dog lead before boarding the bus.

"It could be dangerous for the couple and other passengers if a driver 
had to brake sharply while Miss Maltby was wearing the lead."

The company said it was writing to Mr Graves "to apologise for any 
distress caused by the way this matter was handled".
