A SALISBURY Reds bus service is having to be diverted after a bus had its windows smashed. 

A tweet from the service said the R1 - which goes from Salisbury District Hospital to Bemerton Heath via Salisbury city centre - has been targeted in the Saint Michaels Road area, with "windows being smashed by objects thrown at the vehicle".

The decision was then taken to divert from this road, meaning it is unable to serve Herbert Road and Tournament Road.

Wiltshire Police and Salisbury Reds have been contacted for comment.
