I had a similar issue on one of the X66 B7s. The front seat on the left kept sliding on and off, nearly crapped myself when i sat on it and went into next week.

I seem to remember this happening all the time with the L94s back when I was at school

Very good friend at Deptford had to turn his 60 around after two windows were put through passing Backhouse Park on Ryhope Road tonight...

5403 currently parked up at the Black Horse in CLS with a smashed emergency exit door window.

This is one of the 2/2A's which had been hit in the Penshaw area over the past few days.

The post I shared states that. It's the correct decision in my opinion, given what has been happening.

Hopefully it applies pressure to the authorities to deal with it now.

Noticed a 4 on the Highway last Sunday. Was heading between Mount Pleasant and Shiney. Just assumed the tunnel was shut.
Probably a short term reaction to the vandalism.

Kids have been throwing "masonry" from the railway bridge, put a massive hole in the side of a 4 last week that injured a passenger.

They should be done for attempted murder

Good luck trying to prove they were intending to kill someone with it.

throwing masonary at a bus from a bridge - what would you call it childhood shenanigan's?

It's not the point. As the previous poster stated, good luck trying to prove it's attempted murder. There has to be a specific intention there, which in this case, I highly doubt that there is.

That's not me defending or sticking up for people throwing ballast off the bridge at buses. It's completely reckless, and as we've seen, can cause serious injury or even death. I'm not sure what they'd go for as the charge though... maybe causing danger to road users under the Road Traffic Act?

Of course, catching them will be the first step, but the Police seem completely incapable of doing that.

I'd personally call it, 'being a little c**t'

TEN 6083 · 19 Mar 2023, 3:40 pm,

I honestly don’t understand what goes through their minds to do such stupid things, someone is going to be seriously injured or killed if they continue with this mindless behaviour.

'could' being the key word.

I'm presuming that Greater Manchester Police are trying to use the trumped up charge as a deterrent (and hopefully it works!), but they'd have to convince the CPS of it to get a case. Easier said than done.
