Mindless vandalism
Mindless vandalism
I see the little darlings are out in force today. Arriva in Durham have had three buses taken out of service for broken windows in as many hours.
This seems to be really bad lately and they have the brass necks to do it in broad daylight too.

Atleast 1 Arriva Solo has been hit tonight, really this thread should be moved to Bus Operations, Management & Infrastructure as there seems to be re-occurance of vandalism with Winlaton Bus Station just being avoided a few days ago and X20's been destroyed while in Storage.
There have been a few reports of antisocial behaviour in the area recently but from reports on next door, it sounds like an Angel had its windows put through by youths in Pity Me, last night.
Due to antisocial behaviour and damage caused to our vehicles our service 8 & 20 will have no option but to terminate at the Round Robin (Herron Foods). Northumbria Police are aware and assisting. We have had a number of buses damaged in the last hour.Seems more anti social behaviour on SC

(27 Nov 2022, 8:37 pm)Andreos1 Of what?The CCTV of the vehicles which have been hit by rocks, apparently a few more have been hit in the Stagecoach Sunderland Area
A cynic would suggest the CCTV was to stop the 'claims' going in, rather than to actually protect their windows.
(27 Nov 2022, 8:45 pm)Unber43 The CCTV of the vehicles which have been hit by rocks, apparently a few more have been hit in the Stagecoach Sunderland AreaAbout lunchtime the 20 was diverted to go down to Chester Road and do the Pennywell loop the same as the 39. Apparently that was due to things being thrown at buses. Didn't hear a mention of the 8 on that radio call though.
