LATEST NEWS: Shocking images show bus window smashed by yobs in attack
TWO bus services are avoiding an estate after vandalism.
First West Yorkshire tweeted at 1.08pm today about an update to two of its bus services.
The 620 and 621 buses are being diverted after vandalism this lunchtime.
The services will omit the Bierley Estate and Bierley Lane currently.
A spokesperson for First West Yorkshire said: "We apologise for any inconvenience caused."
A spokesperson for First Bradford said: “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 involved.
“Every time 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 timetable arrangements. We aim to source a replacement bus as quickly as possible in order to minimise disruption to our customers, but when vandalism occurs while the bus is in service, then it does inevitably and regrettably result in at least part of that scheduled journey being cancelled.
"Repairing a bus means it can be missing from service the following day too.”
The Telegraph & Argus has contacted West Yorkshire Police for comment but is yet to receive a reply.
