I guess the reasoning is that there is some potential demand, but it wouldn't pay the fare levels that a commercial operator would need to make a profit - cue Local Authority to request PSO status. However, up til now, UK has stepped back from imposing more PSOs, instead we've had Route Development Funding which is not the same, but it has launched a number of new routes.
