McColl's has announced that the 184 bus that runs through Whitecrook will stop running after Sunday, August 9.

The travel company has stated that a new and alternative service, the Avondale 500, will be available to link up the area.

Those who use the 184 bus are being encouraged to check the timetable of the new service as times, stops and journeys may be slightly different.

In relation to this McColl's said: "We would like to thank all our customers who have supported Service 184 over the years and appreciate your continued support across the McColl's Travel network."

This change comes after we reported on stone-throwing attacks targeting the 184 bus, which ended in a smashed window, and community police patrolling the area in the days after.

Due to this the travel company warned potential termination of the service as these attacks could have had "serious consequences."
