As noted some of the routes do carry an abundance of concessionary travellers and unless the reimbursement of these passes is made more viable more routes could disappear rather appear. There soon will be a tipping point in this subject but that's for another thread.

Couldn't agree with you more.
I think the majority of areas of been explored and exploited over the years and services linking areas that are commercially viable are still operating now.

Looking back over the last 10/15 years it's interesting how many commercial services became subsidised In one way or another around the time the free concessionary travel scheme started, and the years after, and now face the chop completly due to the ongoing cuts, so it begs the question, had the national scheme never been brought in would we be seeing the cuts to subsidised (many once commercial) services that were now seeing?
