    Guessing that nobody is using it. If it makes money its kept. People taking it for granted too long. Use it or lose it

    The vast majority of Bus Éireann services in the area - Mullingar-Athlone, Athlone-Longford, Athlone town services, Mullingar-Dublin are subsidised but some carry more than others so wouldn't lose as much.

    Agree with people sometimes taking services for granted.
