Youths throw bricks through bus window

Date published: 02 September 2019


Youths have been damaging Rosso buses by throwing bricks through the windows on Spotland Road.

The 467 between Rochdale and Bury was diverted from Spotland Road to College Road and Mellor Street on 28 August, and again on 30 August, after youths had been targeting the vehicles.

A spokesperson for Rosso confirmed the bus route was changed for the safety of the passengers.

The incidents have been reported to the police and Transport for Greater Manchester’s travel safe incident reporting system.

Greater Manchester Police has been contacted for comment.
