Arriva aren't the only operator to have suffered problems tonight. Go North East have had three buses incur damage on Old Durham Road this evening, due to a clan of young people throwing rocks at buses.
I honestly cannot understand the appeal of throwing rocks and suchlike at buses. Not only does it result in buses having to be kept off the road (with passengers suffering as a result - the likes of free Wi-Fi might not be available), but it could also result in the people on-board being hurt.
