Kind-hearted bus drivers from Dublin Bus made a young lad's day when they picked him up after school as part of a sweet surprise.
Christine Sweetman Cullen's son Tadhg, nine, has autism and loves everything to do with buses. On Thursday, young Tadhg was delighted when a Dublin Bus organised by Derek and Stephen turned up to collect him after school and brought him on a trip to the depot in Ballymount.
Taking to Facebook, Tadhg's proud mum Christine shared pictures and videos of the special moment, documenting her son's delight. She said: "They gave Tadhg the most amazing surprise yesterday when they picked him up from school on his own private bus, they even put his name and his favourite bus stop number on the front."

Christine said that her son was "delighted" by the lovely surprise. She said "They were amazing with Tadhg showed him all around the depo, introduced him to everyone and gave him a goodie bag of Dublin Bus stuff he was delighted.
"He even got to operate the ramp and doors and obviously beep the horn, he absolutely loved it. Thank you Dublin Bus and especially Derek and Stephen you have been amazing, we will forever be grateful for everything you have done for Tadhg you have given him a day he will never forget."
Over the Christmas holidays, Tadgh was also given a very special and unique Christmas present of a little bus stop to open by the kind staff at Dublin Bus.
The custom Dublin bus stop they created not only had his name but his favourite number, and in a brilliant video posted on social media by Christine, the moment Tadhg opened his Christmas present can be seen.
