Not sure if any passengers were on board at the time but from the distance the bus looked a mess. Seems to happen every winter up there but will be interesting to see if Stagecoach re-route the 201 again like last year to try and deter such incidents.

Don't be fooled by stories such as the one in North Manchester where the Police have visited numerous schools following missile attacks on "motorists", it is normal for buses to be singled out for attacks, even when on busy roads with cars and lorries around. This has been going on for many years in Hattersley, which is regarded as a no-go area by GMP, and quite frankly if I was a car-less Council Tax payer in Hattersley, I would withhold the element that goes to GMP.

I think that argument should be kept for Motorways. And FPNs certainly AREN'T money making schemes. If they were, GMP would base officers in Piccadilly and all points half a mile East and South and concentrate on illegal cyclists. That would rake in £6,000 in two hours, not £60!
As for brick throwers thinking they are targetting Stagecoach, I don't know that that is true either. As these terrorist attacks do not register on the Police's radar or public/politicians psyche - until they extend to trams and private cars - there has been no interest in researching their motivation. These people are psychotic and from the experience of Global Terrorism, they are normally cowards and bullies with extreme neo-fascist tendencies. Therefore, it could be that the simply see public transport users' as weak, inferior beings who need to be eliminated.
