There's a world of difference between a 15 minute service from
Tooting to Waterloo

There certainly is, as such a thing doesn't exist.

and a rural (and even not-so-rural) service

You also have massively subsidised tube, bus and Overground
rail alternatives.

Think you'll find the subsidy per passenger mile rather less than on many
rural lines.
