MG92, that long time driver on the Mountmellick run no longer works for Bus Eireann, but is now driving for a private operator and is doing more or less the same trip as he was while in Bus Eireann. But at the minute yes the Mountmellick service is still operating.
I was surprised to hear that the 124 could be getting the chop. As far as I know, that was operating near enough to full capacity - with the driver even turning people away at times (as has been the case ever since Slieve Bloom ceased their Dublin-Mountmellick service some time in 2007). Since it only operates at peak hours, and with those kind of numbers, I can't see how it could be that unprofitable. Although, that driver would have been very popular with his passengers, so I would guess that most - if not all - of them have followed him onto the private coach anyway.
