BUS services to Bierley have been cut down this evening due to "mindless vandalism" from children. 

First Bradford said it's 620 service will only operate as far as the Bierley terminus and back towards Bradford due to possible risks.

When a driver arrived at Burnham Avenue, children started throwing stones at the bus and broke one window.

There was a single passenger on board and fortunately no one was injured. Police did not attend.

But First has warned that incidents like these are "endangering" both the drivers and customers. 

The company is now investigating CCTV footage to see if they can identify the culprits.

A spokesperson for First Bradford said: “This mindless vandalism is endangering our drivers and customers and disrupting the lives of local people in the communities we serve, especially at this time when we are focused on ensuring key workers and anyone making essential journeys can travel when they need to.

“The safety of staff and customers is our highest priority and will work closely with the police to investigate these incidents including the use of on board CCTV to help identify the individuals involved.”  

 

A spokesperson said: "We will not be able to serve Shetcliffe Lane, Ferrand Avenue, and Burnham Avenue until further notice. We apologise for any inconvenience."
