Leeds mums on school run 'shook' after seeing popular Morley bus shelter 'demolished'

A bus shelter has been spotted "demolished" in Morley on a school run route.

Leeds mums were left "shook" after driving between Elland Road and Victoria Road on Thursday (March 25) and seeing the popular bus shelter "in pieces".

The bus stop's structure is completely broken and unable to stand upright. Pieces of debris were scattered across the road and caused traffic problems for some drivers throughout Thursday and Friday.

Witness believe that a bus, said to often used in the area, went into the shelter and left it "destroyed".

Tape printed with "crime scene - do not enter" has been put around the shelter and is currently out of use. One Leeds mum said: "I was on the school run around 8.45am and I saw it then.

"It was a shock. I just hope the person or people involved were not badly hurt."

Another added: "I saw this on Friday around 12.30am. I had to leave my car further up the road as couldn’t get past the bus stop to get home.

"There was also a young lad there who I believe was getting a tick off from a police officer."

On Thursday afternoon, another resident said: "I saw this earlier they look like someone was trying to fix it or remove it when I went past." Another added: "Hope the person that demolished it is ok."

Leeds Live has contacted West Yorkshire Police for more detail.
