A passenger has blasted Stagecoach after he was let on a bus which had 'every window smashed' after being vandalised in Stockport.
Shocking footage taken by Konrad Sutton-Burns showed the appalling level of damage to the vehicle as shards of glass could be seen scattered across the floor and seats. The bus had been travelling through the Brinnington estate on Tuesday night where it is believed to have been targeted by vandals.

Video footage shows some windows completely emptied of glass, with others appearing to have bits of sharp glass poking through. Konrad said it looked like the break glass hammers used in an emergency had been taken from the vehicle.
