Trentbarton is calling on local residents to help prevent further acts of vandalism after its buses were targeted over the weekend by stone throwers near the Nottinghamshire border. On Saturday, July 1, a window of an Ilkeston flyer bus was smashed at around 6:50pm.
Other buses from the operator were also targeted, with more objects being thrown at buses. Trentbarton had to divert from a particular part of the route from 7pm due to the incidents.
However, on Sunday, July 2, there were further attempted attacks on the buses during the evening. There were customers onboard these buses, but nobody has been injured.
