Fold the kids?
I assume you mean the buggy? We've been over that already.
No, I knew you'd rise to the bait

So the driver gets fired for not throwing the non compliant buggy owner off the bus or gets prosecuted for assult by throwing them off the bus.I love the smug complacency implicit in that comment. Do you really think that the Govt and the Courts are going to humour lazy unmotivated drivers ignoring legislation and clear Court rulings? Get real! Either bus companies will start getting hit with serious fines for non-compliance or retention of driver's licences will become conditional on complying with legislation....

Are non-foldable buggies/prams allowed on buses? Could say a Silver Cross pram even get down the aisle?
In general folded wheelchairs are also banned from buses; so if a wheelchair user prefers to sit in a standard seat (as many do) they must still secure their chair. unfolded, in the wheelchair space; and cannot get on the bus if that space is occupied.
If a passenger is in breach of the passenger conduct regulations; then the driver can summon help from the police to have a non-compliant passenger removed. There are no circumstances where the driver would have the power to manhandle a passenger. But the court very particularly rejected the argument that failure to vacate the wheelchair space could be a breach of the Passenger Conduct Regulations.
Do trespass laws not apply, i.e. by breaching the conditions of carriage the pushchair user is no longer welcome on the "premises", and as such reasonable force can be used to remove them if they do not go voluntarily?
Now another problem.....Last bus leaving town centre, one wheelchair boarding......several stops later....another wheelchair.........

A Paris bus driver threw ALL of the passengers off as they refused to make space for a wheelchair user then ran forward with that person as the only passenger! Respect to him.. .
