RE: Howards/Springfield
Whether a specific rail service or section of a service is subsided or not is difficult to say. Apparently the English sections of the ATW franchise are profitable but the franchise as a whole is heavily subsided and even with that information it's not possible to say whether the Stockport to Manchester section of the South Wales to Manchester service is profitable or not or whether the English sections would remain profitable if they ended at the Welsh border.
