Schoolkids will be schoolkids, and they were making quite a deal of noise and were being a bit loud,’ said one young mother, who was on the bus at the time with her two-year-old son. ‘However, when the bus drew away from the hospital, screams could be heard upstairs. There was a huge blast all of a sudden. Everyone ran down the stairs, and the entire bus filled with smoke.’ ‘Yesterday afternoon we encountered a significant incident when a firework was lighted by schoolchildren on a bus in Gorleston,’ said Chris Speed, operations director for First Eastern Counties. Fortunately, no injuries were inflicted by any of our passengers or driver on board, but this careless behaviour is quite alarming.’ ‘We are collaborating with the authorities to identify and apprehend anyone implicated.’ Cliff Park Ormiston Academy was reached out to for comment.
