Buses are being diverted away from an area in South Bristol following a second attempt to vandalise one of the vehicles. Bus company Air Decker has said that an urgent service diversion is in place for the foreseeable future to keep passengers, drivers and vehicles away from harm.
The diversion comes after an item - initially reported to be a brick, but since been confirmed to be a lump of wood - was thrown through the window of one of the buses as it travelled along Anton Bantock Way in Bishopsworth on Monday evening (July 25). Services along the area were temporarily diverted for the rest of Monday (July 25) and now, after talks with management, the company has put these diversions in place for longer.
A spokesperson for Air Decker told BristolLive: "One of our A4 Air Decker vehicles was subject to an act of vandalism later on Monday night. The incident occurred at approximately 17:15 on Anton Bantock Way shortly after departing from the Hareclive Road bus stop.
