Dublin Bus : Slane 2009
Dublin Bus operated a major shuttle service to and from Slane Castle on Saturday June 20th 2009.
The shuttle departed from Parnell Square West and went to Slane Castle in Co. Meath, where thousands of music fans were going to see Oasis.
Over 200 buses were used on the day, with various types used including Wedding Buses and unusually, Dennis Tridents from Harristown Garage.
Here is a photo feature capturing the days events.
First we see Harristown ALX400 AV447 about to leave Broadstone Garage to join the que of buses on Parnell Square, loading for Slane.
We now see Ringsend ALX400's AV5 and AV9 on Parnell Square.
