Buses were withdrawn from a Glenrothes housing estate after a vehicle was damaged by “kids throwing stones”.

Stagecoach East Scotland stopped buses from serving the Collydean area on Saturday night.

The service 37/37A was withdrawn just before 9pm.

A post on X by Stagecoach East Scotland said: “Due to vehicle damage by kids throwing stones at the buses, service 37/37A will not serve Collydean for the remainder of this evening.

“Services will operate via Formonthills Road in both directions.

“Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.”

A spokesperson for Stagecoach East Scotland said: “One of our buses operating on service 37A on Saturday evening was damaged following stones being thrown at the vehicle, breaking the entrance door glass.

“Thankfully, no one was injured because of this mindless act of vandalism but to ensure the safety of our passengers and drivers, we made the decision to withdraw our services in this area for the reminder of the evening as safety is our absolute priority.

“It is disappointing for all that this decision needs to be taken as a result of vandalism as it’s the community who lose out in this situation, with reduced or curtailed services and other potential delays or disruption as the bus remains off the road until replacement parts can be fitted.

“Services resumed as normal on Sunday morning.”

Police said they had not been informed of the incident.
