Hide AdA spokesman for the operator confirmed this morning that a normal service had resumed.
He said: The anti-social behaviour was caused by a group of youths throwing eggs at bus windows. This can be dangerous if thrown at the windscreen as it leaves a residue which is difficult to clear and see through, so on the basis of safety services were diverted.
"However, from this morning services have resumed and are running on their normal route.”
In September, bus services in Firth Park were partially suspended after anti-social behaviour led to fears for the safety of staff and passengers.
