busiest route in birmingham?

[Dylan4579]

Which route do we think has most passengers  peak and off peak?

[Ash]

Probably the busiest route that enters the City Centre is probably the 50 as a single service, the busiest black country service that doesn't enter the city centre may be the 4/4H/4M as it seems to go to nearly every place in the black country apart from Dudley/Stourbridge and Wolverhampton.

A lot of Birminghams services seem to be busy especially the 33/50/51 etc.

In The black country routes like WN 59 and 529 and WA's 4/H/M and 301.

Routes like the 74/5 82/7 and 126 can be busy also so you can't really tell which is the mos frequent service.

The 50 has got to be in the top 5 though as it is claimed to be NXWM's most frquent route

The 9 is very busy at peak times as it serves two high schools in Halesowen alone, but at other times it can be nearly empty

74 & 75 are certainly candidates, they are always busy coming in and out of Birmingham

I used to live on the 50 route and it was always busy whatever day or time of day you caught it. It has to be one of the busiest given it sustains 3 different operators.

Definitely the 50
Soho road certainly used to be busier before the metro

And don't forget the Johnsons X50 as well to make a 4th operator on this route.

It's probably no coincidence that the 50 is such a busy route, as the two main areas it serves, Moseley and Kings Heath, have no direct rail link to the city centre.

If plans go ahead to reintroduce passenger services on the Camp Hill line, and re-open stations at Moseley and Kings Heath, how much would that affect patronage on the 50 services?  ::)

The 74/75 down the Soho Road is very busy most of the time, even with the Metro.

The outercircle, thats always fairly busy
