I expect that these new WAT routes will do incredibly well for VLM. It seems logical that they'll look at WAT-MAN too although it would probably need them to deploy another aircraft as the one based for the LTN & BHX routes is fully occupied.

I see that GWY has reopened Galway Airport | Aerphort na Gallimhe | Connecting You

Could VLM perhaps try to restore flights on this route too, as like WAT it was once very popular?
No need for another aircraft, the schedule has room for another 1-2 flights per day. WAT-LTN-WAT-BHX-WAT-LTN-WAT & WAT-LTN-WAT-LTN-WAT. Plenty of room there for expansion.

Not a chance of any airline starting GWY again, it's operating license ends in June I believe. Plus the cost of hiring new staff, servicing Navaids, Insurance, etc etc would cost a fortune. As much as I would like to see GWY open again, I'm afraid I cannot see it happening.
