Joyce Bacon, 60 and Adele Boylin, 55, both mothers, were standing waiting to board the bus in Piccadilly Gardens when they were hit by a double decker Stagecoach being driven by 35-year-old Baruania Baros.
Baros, a bus driver of four years' experience with a clean driving licence, was helping a disabled passenger leave the bus when he accidentally pressed the accelerator instead of the brake. The bus jolted forward and crashed into the women, causing fatal injuries.
Baros, from Ashton-underLyne, pleaded guilty to two counts of causing death by careless driving and was given a suspended jail sentence. The judge said his pregnant wife would be harmed if Baros was locked up and ruled he did not pose a 'risk or danger' to the public.
