A Dundee bus firm had to reroute some of its services after drivers and passengers came under attack from stone-throwing youths.
Xplore Dundee took the action on Tuesday night after incidents in the Lothian Crescent area in Whitfield.
In a statement online, it said: “We regret that all buses will be withdrawn from Lothian Crescent for the rest of the night due to stone-throwing.
“As a result: Outer Circle services 9/10 will be diverted via Whitfield Drive in both directions; Service 33 will head via Whitfield Drive/Drumgeith Road to terminate at Summerfield Avenue.”
In a later reply to a member of the public, it added: “The decision to divert services in this instance is not taken lightly – but, in respect to both passenger and driver safety, it was necessary.”
Buses also came under attack on Lothian Crescent in October.
Xplore Dundee’s 9, 10 and 33 services were withdrawn due to concerns over passenger safety as they drove through the street.
Youths were reported to have climbed into a construction site and hurled missiles at the buses from there.
