Missiles thrown at vehicles across Merseyside’s public transport network “could cause a fatality” according to one of the region’s senior bus directors.
It was revealed in papers to the Liverpool City Region transport committee how buses throughout the region were targeted by vandals during the Halloween and Bonfire Night period of 2022. The report by Matt Goggins, Liverpool City Region assistant director for buses, said during three key nights there were 23 incidents that resulted in smashed windows compared to nine to the previous year.
Addressing the committee on the issue, Mr Goggins issued a stark warning about continuing anti-social behaviour. He said: “That’s causing us some real concern, I’m not exaggerating to say missiles thrown through bus windows could cause a fatality.
