"The safety of our staff and customers is our highest priority and we are working closely with the police to investigate the incidents including the use of on board CCTV footage to help identify the individuals taking part in this reckless action.

"Such behaviour can have very serious consequences and we encourage anyone with information to contact the police or get in touch with Crimestoppers.

"If we have to divert buses or shorten a route it is disrupting the lives of local people in the communities we serve.

"Acts of vandalism cause significant interference to our timetabling arrangements and our service could be withdrawn for the rest of the day and evening or diverted away from the area concerned, disrupting the plans of customers who wish to make their regular journeys.

"Whilst every effort is made to get our vehicle back on the road the next day, sometimes it may be missing from service."
