Terror on the buses
By Linda Piper


A COMMUTER has described how he was caught up in a riot of drunken
teenagers
on his way home from work.

And in nearby Dartford:

From: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/4303825.stm

Passengers using the Gravesend to Dartford railway line in Kent are
having
to travel on shorter trains because of vandalism at the weekend.

Six trains were out of commission on Monday after suffering damage estimated
at £6,000.

The worst damage occurred on Saturday night when youths travelling on four
trains between the two towns smashed 102 windows from inside the carriages.

Another 71 windows were smashed on two more trains using the same line.

Two youths were arrested by Kent Police after a train was stopped outside
Northfleet station.

Officers said they were searching for another four people.

South Eastern Trains warned passengers to expect short notice alterations
and delays on some of its services as a result of the vandalism.

So that's 173 windows smashed at the weekend? What the hell is happening
around here???
