The nature of the vandalism on this occasion is not yet known, but buses in the area have previously been diverted due to yobs pelting them with stones.

In August, The Star reported how the number 75 and 76 bus services were re-routed for three nights running to protect passengers and drivers due to 'kids throwing objects at buses'.
