A bus company has been forced to cancel a number of services after stone-throwing yobs smashed windows.

A number of Stagecoach buses have been left damaged after attacks in Ashford across two nights.

During the attacks across Trinity Road, Hurst Road and Towers View areas of Kennington, a number of services were pulled on Sunday night.

The following morning, buses on two separate routes were unable to run due to the damage sustained to the windows.

Yesterday evening, services to the Trinity Road area were pulled again due to another spate of attacks.

Shocking photos showed the damage to one of the buses, with a window smashed right next to passenger seats.

Thankfully, nobody was hurt during the incidents, which come less than a week after the company was forced to suspend services in the Bridgefield estate.

The drastic decision came after buses were targeted with eggs and other missiles in the area that was previously described as a "no-go zone" for public transport.

The incidents came almost exactly three years after a number of threatening incidents against drivers saw the company refuse to enter the estate at night.

Paul Robertson, Stagecoach operations manager at Ashford, says the latest attacks are "totally unacceptable".

"Whoever is responsible may not understand how serious their actions can be for the safety of people on the bus and for other road users.

"We are assisting the police with their investigation and we urge anyone with any information to come forward."

Police have been contacted for comment.
