BUS bosses have declared a Hampshire estate a no-go area after vehicles were attacked by stone-throwing yobs - some thought to be just six years old.

Children have hurled objects at Solent Blue Line buses, smashing several windows in a spate of incidents that have endangered the safety of drivers and passengers.

The schoolboy hooligans have also attempted to stop a vehicle by building a barricade across the road, but the driver bulldozed his way through.

Now company chiefs are to remove two services from the estate after 3.30pm - the time when the attacks start.

One manager said the consequences of a stone hitting a driver and causing him to lose control of the bus would be "enormous".
