A bus company says it could be forced to bypass a large village after 10 of its vehicles were targeted by stone-throwing yobs.
The Skylink vehicles, which transport passengers between Leicester and East Midland Airport, have come under a hail of stones on a number of occasions in the past few months.
The company said the repair bill had so far hit £10,000.
It warned it could review its night-time route so Birstall, where the service makes one stop, would be excluded.
Skylink general manager Alex Kerr said police had told him that other vehicles, such as lorries, cars, taxis and other buses, had been targeted in a similar fashion.
The Skylink vehicles have been targeted in Loughborough Road, near the Redhill Roundabout end of the village.

Mr Kerr said: "The cost is one thing, but the safety of customers and drivers is paramount.
"If these incidents were to continue, a review of the Skylink service at night through Birstall would have to be considered."
The firm's buses are equipped with rear, side and front-facing CCTV cameras.
Footage of some of the culprits has been handed to the police, Mr Kerr said.
He added: "We are working closely with the police and providing them with the necessary CCTV footage to identify those responsible, and urge anyone with information to contact the police."
Birstall resident David Palmer said: "I live near Loughborough Road and I've heard people complaining about kids throwing stones at moving cars.
"It's a stupid and dangerous thing to do.
"I don't think for one minute that people would come from anywhere else to do something like this. It must be kids from Birstall.
"The police are good in Birstall and they will catch up with these people."
Police are investigating the incidents and are urging people to help them trace the culprits.
