Antisocial behaviour has forced First Buses to cancel part of a bus route.

The 20 service was temporarily cancelled after 8pm on the route into Hullbridge.

It was restarted a day later, but the company has just had to announce that it will not run tonight, after two missiles were thrown at it yesterday.

The service will now terminate at Rayleigh.

A spokesman confirmed the cancellation and apologised to those affected, but said the safety of staff and customers must be a priority.
