From Saturday 2nd June until Bank Holiday Monday 4th June 2007, Dublin Bus operated a special " Bloom Shuttle " service from Parkgate Street to the Phoenix monument in the Park in conjunction with the weekend Bloom 2007 celebrating the best of food & garden exhibitions. Here is a feature on some of the Dublin Bus's operating throughout the weekend.
Donnybrook based VT 14 at the Pargate Street terminus for the shuttle.
VT 14 circles the Phoenix monument heading for the pull in stop in the Park.
VT 14 at the " courtesy bus " stop at the Phoenix Park terminus. The
large seating capacity of the Enviro500 is ideal for large crowds as can
be seen leaving the bus....

Phoenix Park terminus. Shuttle buses used during the weekend were operated by Donnybrook & Harristown.
