Arriva Suspends Evening Bus Services on Route 482 After Series of Dangerous Attacks

 

Arriva has announced the temporary suspension of evening services on its Route 482 bus between Gravesend and Kings Farm following a spate of serious incidents involving objects being thrown at buses, including one that left a small child at risk.
One Gravesend parent, who uses the route regularly, said:

“It’s terrifying to think that a child could be hurt just riding a bus. But cutting off service early is going to make life very hard for families who rely on it.”

Appeal for Witnesses

Kent Police are urging anyone with information about the incidents to come forward. Witnesses or those with CCTV or dashcam footage from affected areas are asked to contact authorities or Crimestoppers anonymously.

Stay Informed

Arriva customers are advised to check the company’s website or app for the latest service updates and any future changes to the timetable.
