“Outbound services are diverted via Manor Oaks Road, Whites Lane, Maltravers Road, right up Maltravers Terrace and Manor Oaks Road.”

It is not the first service to have part of its route suspended due to vandalism

The number seven route had a section on curfew this year because of yobs pelting vehicles with stones near Deerlands Avenue, Parson Cross.

Several services were also diverted in November last year because of missiles being thrown at buses.
