Buses stop because of vandals
Buses will not be operating through part of Milton Keynes because of attacks from gangs of vandals.

Over the past two weeks buses have been pelted with objects as they passed through Coffee Hall at night time.

On Wednesday night, bottles and a concrete slab were thrown through a side window, injuring a passenger.

Liberal Democrat Councillor Graham Mabutt is in charge of the town's buses and said it could be some time before normal services were resumed.

"Until they receive advice from police that it's safe for them to start up again, it might be a few days, or weeks or longer."
