Vandalism - Keeiajs - 26 Nov 2021
It seems to be vandalism seems to be a major issues.
57's have been hit, 2 60's have, 1 got fixed then got a rock through the window the day of return, 35's.
Normally its Houghton which is the worst for it.
Seems to be on the rise.
RE: Vandalism - Keeiajs - 27 Nov 2021
My friend has just told me that a 3rd 60 has been hit in 3 days. I found out that one of them via bustimes got hit twice, second time the day it re-entered service.
Apparently it happens to the 56 aswell

This is becoming a national 'game' posted on social media. On Saturday evening a fast moving Megabus on the M62 was hit, seems targets are chosen and filmed..
RE: Vandalism - Unber43 - 07 Apr 2022
65 has been hit at Seaham, I think this might be the third or fourth night it a row at Deptford bus has been hit.

I've tried smashing car windows before and it's surprisingly difficult. Things just usually bounce

Double glazed house windows are the worst, they can survive a sledge hammer, you have to hit them in the corner to get through them!

Is that not just the reflection on the far side of the bus? It seems a bit far fetched (although I appreciate not impossible) for a rock to go through one window and out the other, when it's presumably been thrown by hand.
Unless Hulk Hogan lives in Seaham these days?

Granted I did have some scepticism seems as though I'd never seen it, must have had quite a lot of power behind it
RE: Vandalism - F114TML - 10 Apr 2022
No, it's either 2 projectiles, or it's gone through. Can't be a reflection as the hole on the far side is a completely different shape.
RE: Vandalism - Unber43 - 21 May 2022
2 65 were hit with vandalism today

I had a similar issue on one of the X66 B7s. The front seat on the left kept sliding on and off, nearly crapped myself when i sat on it and went into next week.

Very good friend at Deptford had to turn his 60 around after two windows were put through passing Backhouse Park on Ryhope Road tonight...

This is one of the 2/2A's which had been hit in the Penshaw area over the past few days.

The post I shared states that. It's the correct decision in my opinion, given what has been happening.
Hopefully it applies pressure to the authorities to deal with it now.
