Service 29 vandalism and anti-social behaviour affecting Walsall buses

[Solo1]

Wonder how they would feel if they stoned the bus & it hit their parents or  their friends & they was injured what would be the reaction then only way they will learn night in the cells & all nigh not just a few hours

There lucky there seemed to be 1 other bloke on the bus with the driver or I only saw 1 bloke get off, maybe the others waiting for the 529 in County Bridge had got of it to. Driver did radio it but it appears most of the 37's went the normal way, Driver said lucky no one was sat there, someone had been a few minutes before but had got off. The window didn't smash though it had internally shattered in the glazing from what I could see. As they kicked the bus on the way to Willenhall it appears they don't really care either way, NX need to get the Police involved maybe speak to local schools, where apparently these vandals are from and or Bill the parents

Looks like it may have started again on the 29s 1863 replaced by 1836 and diverting up the Bloxwich Road

Lighter Warmer Evenings interestingly haven't been at it in Bentley, Underhill, Beechdale or Lodge Farm though but I suspect that will restart soon

Why specifically the 29, has it always been an area of high crime rate?

A brief skim through the posts will give you all you need.

The 29 (Walsall-Coalpool-Harden-Blakenall-Bloxwich) travels through some of the most deprived areas of Walsall and, as such, is subject to higher rates of anti-social behaviour.

Buses have been an easy target and, given there are plenty of secluded spots for youths to gather like Ryecroft Cemetery and Swannie's Fields, then they take the brunt.

It happened to the 19 a lot last year too which serves the same area.

Most of it was around Beechdale/Stephenson Square area.
